LAN Connection (Infrastructure)
In an infrastructure network, your computer connects to a LAN (local area network)
through a wireless access point. This gives you access to the resources on the network,
such as printers, file servers, and possibly the Internet. Your network administrator can
provide the settings you’ll need to connect to the wireless access point, as well as the
additional settings you’ll need for the network itself.
1. Set up your computer for your local network:
Windows automatically detects and sets up a LAN connection. To edit settings, open
Network and Dial-up Connections in Control Panel.
2. Click the wireless link icon in the taskbar and select Advanced Configuration.
