Using a Wireless LAN Adapter

Your notebook model may include a wireless local area network (WLAN)

adapter. A WLAN adapter enables your notebook to connect to a compatible

wireless network access point or to another, compatible, wireless-enabled

notebook. A WLAN adapter cannot be used to connect the notebook to a mobile

telephone service, a Bluetooth wireless device, or a cordless telephone.

Setting up a wireless network requires:

■

A notebook equipped with a WLAN adapter—The WLAN adapter can be

integrated or a free-standing add-on, such as a PC Card.

■

A wireless access point—Wireless access point functionality can be

provided by a standalone device or be included with another networking

device, such as a router.

Accessing the Internet through a wireless network requires:

■

An Internet access device, such as a broadband cable or DSL

(digital subscriber line) modem or a shared analog modem connected to

a phone line.

■

Service from an ISP (Internet service provider).

Hardware requirements for an Internet connection include a WLAN adapter

in the notebook, a wireless access point, and a modem. (Notebook

appearance varies by model.)
