3 Connecting to a network

Your computer 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 computer and a wired or 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 computer may be equipped with

one or more of the following wireless devices:

●

Wireless local area network (WLAN) device (select models only)—Connects the computer to wireless

local area networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate

oices, your home, and public places such as airports, restaurants, coee shops, hotels, and

universities. In a WLAN, the mobile wireless device in your computer communicates with a wireless

router or a wireless access point.

●

HP Mobile Broadband Module (select models only)—A wireless wide area network (WWAN) device that

gives you wireless connectivity over a much larger area. Mobile network operators install base stations

(similar to cell phone towers) throughout large geographic areas, eectively providing coverage across

entire states, regions, or even countries.

●

Bluetooth device (select models only)—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 HP

Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant on the Start screen, select the HP Support Assistant app.

Using the wireless controls

You can control the wireless devices in your computer using these features:

●

Wireless button, wireless switch, or wireless key (referred to in this chapter as the wireless button)

●

Operating system controls

Using the wireless button

The computer has a wireless button, one or more wireless devices, and one or two wireless lights, depending

on the model. All of the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory, so the wireless light is

on (white) when you turn on the computer.

The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of individual

devices. If the wireless light is white, at least one wireless device is on. If the wireless light is o, all wireless

devices are o.

NOTE: On some models, the wireless light is amber when all wireless devices are o.

Because the wireless devices are enabled at the factory, you can use the wireless button to turn on or turn o

the wireless devices simultaneously.
