Using the built-in wireless LAN function (optional)
With the built-in wireless LAN card on your Joybook, you can access
Ethernet network wirelessly without the constraints of network cables.
At home or in the office, you need an access point, which serves as an air
station to make transmission possible. Outdoors in places such as in
coffee shops or library, you can inquire the service personnel about an
account.
WLAN is optional depending on your purchased model.
Connecting to a wireless LAN network:
1. Make sure that you are located within the wireless network service area
and you have already obtained the user name and password for
accessing such network from the service provider.
2. Press
on your Joybook to enable the wireless LAN. The status
is indicated by the on-screen display as follows.
3. If the wireless LAN icon
on the System Tray located at the lower
right corner of the Desktop shows in green, you are now connected to
the network.
4. For details about the current status of the wireless radio, right-click on
the
icon, and then select Open Atheros Client Utility, the
information is available under the Current Status tab.
To access Internet, you may have to undergo another authorization
process and enter username and password. For details, please consult
your ISP.
Connecting to another wireless LAN network:
1. If you want to connect to another wireless LAN network, you need to
scan available networks first.
2. Right-click on the
icon, and then select Open Atheros Client
Utility.
