3 Connecting to a network
Your tablet can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can explore the globe and access
information from millions of websites using your tablet and a wireless network connection. This chapter will
help you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Wireless technology transfers data across radio waves instead of wires. Your tablet may be equipped with
one or more of the following wireless devices:
●
Wireless local area network (WLAN) device—Connects the tablet to wireless local area networks
(commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate offices, your home,
and public places such as airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the
mobile wireless device in your tablet communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.
●
Bluetooth device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled
devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each device
communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively close together—typically
within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.
For more information about wireless technology, see the information and website links provided in Help and
Support. From the Start screen, type help, and then select Help and Support.
