may also be used to connect peripheral devices to the access point.

Turning on/off a wireless network connection
Most computers feature a ‘Wi-Fi’ button that turns the network
connection on or off. If your computer has wireless access, but does
not feature a Communication button, you may turn your wireless
network on or off, or control what is shared over the network with the
network management options. Search ’HomeGroup’ and then click on
HomeGroup.
Using wireless devices while flying in aircraft may be prohibited. Switch
off all devices before boarding an aircraft; they may be dangerous to
the operation of the aircraft, disrupt communications, and even be
illegal. After take off, ask the cabin crew if you may enable Wi-Fi.
