Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN is an optional feature. This function allows you to create a wireless
network link with an access point or directly with another wireless-enabled PC.
Using the key combination Fn + F11 you can enable or disable the wireless LAN
function. A corresponding LED will light.
Warning!
Make sure the Wireless LAN option is switched OFF in any
environment where it might interfere with critical and sensitive
devices, e.g., on aircraft, in hospitals and other medical centres, etc.
Conditions
An access point is a wireless transmitter that communicates with your netbook 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 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 or Internet Service Provider 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 connection works in accordance with the
IEEE 802.11n Standard (compatible with the 802.11b/g Standard). The 802.11a
Standard is not supported. If encrypted transmission is used, this must operate
according to the
same principle on all devices . Encryption is a method of
protecting the network from unauthorized access. The transmission speed (max.
300 Mbp/s
*
) can vary according to the distance and loading of the partner.
* 300 Mbit/s is a gross value. A maximum of 75 Mbit/s will be achieved on the
application level. A WLAN router in accordance with the 801.11 standard will be
necessary, in order to be able to exploit the complete performance.
