Connecting to a WLAN To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps: 1. Be sure that the WLAN device is turned on. If it is on, the wireless light is on. If the wireless light is off, press the wireless button. NOTE: On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are turned off. 2. Select Start > Connect To. 3. Select your wireless network in the list. NOTE: If you don't see the network you want to connect to, click Show all connections. A list of options will appear that includes creating a new network connection, as well as troubleshooting connection issues. NOTE: The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN implementation, router manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural barriers such as walls or floors. More information about using a WLAN is available through the following resources: ● Information from your ISP and the user guide included with your wireless router and other WLAN equipment ● Information and Web site links provided in Help and Support For a list of public WLANs near you, contact your ISP or search the Web. Web sites that list public WLANs include Cisco Internet Mobile Office Wireless Locations, Hotspotlist, and Geektools. Check with each public WLAN location for cost and connection requirements. For additional information on connecting your computer to a corporate WLAN, contact your network administrator or IT department. ENWW Connecting to a WLAN 9
