Configuring a wireless router
For help in setting up a WLAN, refer to the information provided by your router manufacturer or your
ISP.
The Windows operating system also provides tools to help you set up a new wireless network. To use
the Windows tools to set up your network:
●
Windows 7—Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing
Center > Set up a new connection or network > Set up a network. Then follow the on-screen
instructions.
●
Windows Vista—Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing
Center > Set up a connection or network > Set up a wireless router or access point. Then
follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: It is recommend
ed 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,
you can disconnect the cable, and then access the Internet through your wireless network.
Protecting your WLAN
When you set up a WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always turn on security features to protect your
network from unauthorized access.
For information on protecting your WLAN, refer to the HP Notebook Reference Guide.
