15.1. Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)
Your PC is equipped with WLAN. The components (module, antenna) have already
been integrated into your PC and activated. You can disable this function using the
Windows® device manager if required.
Wireless LAN enables you to establish a network connection to a corresponding
remote station.
PLEASE NOTE!
Do not operate your PC’s wireless LAN function in areas
where there are radio-sensitive devices (e.g. in hospitals
etc.). If you are unsure whether the use of these devices
will result in damage or interference, disable this
option.
15.1.1. Requirements
A so-called LAN access point can be used as a remote station. An access point is a
radio-transmitting device that communicates with your PC and controls access to
the connected network. LAN access points are frequently found in large offices,
airports, train stations, universities or Internet cafés. They provide access to
particular services and networks or to the Internet. Access permissions are generally
necessary and often result in usage charges. Access points often have built-in DSL
modems. These so-called routers establish the connection to the existing DSL
Internet connection and the wireless LAN. A connection can also be established
to another end device using wireless LAN functionality without an access point.
Without a router, however, the network is restricted to those devices directly
connected to it.
The wireless network connection works in accordance with the IEEE 802.11ac*
standard and is compatible with the IEEE 802.11b/g/n standard.
If encryption is used for the transfer, the same procedure must be used for all
devices. Encryption is a procedure to protect the network from unauthorised access.
The transfer speed can vary depending on the distance and the number of users
accessing the remote station.
* To make use of the full performance, a WLAN router compatible with the 802.11ac standard is
required.
