Conguring a wireless router

For help in setting up a WLAN, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your ISP.

NOTE: It is recommended that you initially connect your new wireless computer to the router by using the

network cable provided with the router. When the computer successfully connects to the Internet, disconnect

the cable, and access the Internet through your wireless network.

Protecting your WLAN

When you set up a WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always enable security features to protect your network

from unauthorized access. WLANs in public areas (hotspots) like coee shops and airports may not provide

any security. If you are concerned about the security of your computer in a hotspot, limit your network

activities to email that is not condential and basic Internet surng.

Wireless radio signals travel outside the network, so other WLAN devices can pick up unprotected signals.

Take the following precautions to protect your WLAN:

●

Use a rewall.

A rewall checks both data and requests for data that are sent to your network, and discards any

suspicious items. Firewalls are available in both software and hardware. Some networks use a

combination of both types.

●

Use wireless encryption.

Wireless encryption uses security settings to encrypt and decrypt data that is transmitted over the

network. For more information, access HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant on the

Start screen, select the HP Support Assistant app.

Connecting to a WLAN

To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps:

1. Be sure that the WLAN device is on. If the device is on, the wireless light is on. If the wireless light is o,

press the wireless button.

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

2. From the Windows desktop or Start screen, point to the far-right upper or lower corner of the screen to

display the charms.

3. Select Settings, and then click the network status icon.

4. Select your WLAN from the list.

5. Click Connect.

If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the code, and

then click Sign in.

NOTE: If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.

NOTE: If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to, from the Windows desktop, right-click the

network status icon, and then select Open Network and Sharing Center. Click Set up a new connection

or network. A list of options is displayed, allowing you to manually search for and connect to a network

or to create a new network connection.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.
