A WLAN is a network in which a user can connect to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a wireless (radio) connection. The WLAN supports all normal Ethernet connectivity, but with the added benefits of mobility and roaming. You can still access information, Internet/intranet and network resources, even in the middle of a meeting, or as you move from one place to another. You can communicate without an access point, which means that you can communicate with a limited number of computers (ad-hoc). Or you can communicate through an access point, which allows you to create a full infrastructure network. To use the wireless LAN function ! Be sure to turn on the WIRELESS switch before starting the wireless LAN function. The IEEE 802.11a standard, using the 5 GHz band, and the IEEE 802.11n draft standard, using the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band, are not available on ad-hoc networks. To use the wireless LAN function, you first need to set up the wireless LAN function. Search Help and Support Center for wireless LAN information to set up and use the wireless LAN function.

Using the Wireless LAN
Using the Wireless LAN (WLAN), all your digital devices with the built-in WLAN function communicate freely with each other
through a network. A WLAN is a network in which a user can connect to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a wireless (radio)
connection.
The WLAN supports all normal Ethernet connectivity, but with the added benefits of mobility and roaming. You can still access
information, Internet/intranet and network resources, even in the middle of a meeting, or as you move from one place to
another.
You can communicate without an access point, which means that you can communicate with a limited number of computers
(ad-hoc). Or you can communicate through an access point, which allows you to create a full infrastructure network.
