Wireless LAN
Your All-In-One PC is equipped with WLAN. The components (Module, antenna) are al-
ready integrated and activated in your computer. You can turn off the wireless LAN func-
tion with the help of the Windows
®
Device Manager.
This function allows you to create a wireless network link with a partner.
Safety Note
Attention!
Don’t use this feature in environments where highly sensitive devices are
placed such as in hospitals etc. To avoid any interference disable this option
in your device manager.
Conditions
The partner used can be a wireless access point . An access point is a wireless transmitter
that communicates with your All-In-One PC and controls access to the network connection
(e.g., a home network or a broadband connection such as DSL).
Wireless access points are often found in offices, airports, universities or Internet cafés.
They offer access to enterprise services and networks or to the Internet.
Access authorizations are normally needed. A fee may be required to use a public access
point. To set up a wireless network to share Internet access, files, and printers at home,
you will need an access point, a router, and a broadband (DSL or cable) modem. Some
access points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband modem. Check with your
retailer to find the best solution for your needs.
A link to another computer with wireless LAN functionality can also be created without an
access point . This will allow you to share files, but you will need an access point and a
router to share an Internet connection. The wireless network link works according to stan-
dard
IEEE 802.11n and is compatible to standard IEEE 802.11 b/g . Other standards
(802.11a etc.) are not supported.
The transmission speed (max. 300 Mbp/s
*
) can vary according to distance and other fac-
tors. If for example the other devices support the 802.11b standard the transmission speed
can be max. 11 Mbp/s.
Search for “wireless networking” in Windows Help and Support for more information.
*
300 Mbit/s is a grossvalue. A maximum of 75 Mbit/s is available at application level. In
order to use its full capacity, a WLAN router following the 802.1 1n standard is required.
