This chapter includes general information on types of connections,
and getting connected to the internet.
Your computer’s built-in network features make it easy for you to
connect your computer to the internet.
First though, in order to connect to the internet
from home, you’ll need
to sign up for internet services from an ISP (Internet Service Provider)
-- usually a phone or cable company -- that will have to go to your
home or office to set up internet service. The ISP will install a small
box, a router or modem, that will allow you to connect to the internet.
Once you have connected to the internet, you can download the

Connecting to a wireless network
Connecting to a wireless LAN
A wireless LAN (or WLAN) is a wireless local area network , which can
link two or more computers without using wires. Once connected to
WLAN, you can access the internet. You can also share files, other
devices, and even your internet connection itself.
Your computer's wireless connection is turned on by default and
Windows will detect and display a list of available networks during
setup. Select your network and enter the password if required. You
can use the network management options to turn your wireless
network on/off or control what is shared over the network.
To connect to a wireless network, please follow the steps below.
1. Ensure you have a wireless router/access point and current internet
connection through the ISP of your choice. Make a note of the
wireless network’s name and password (if necessary).
Note
Please refer to your ISP or router documentation for details on connecting to
the internet.
