Connecting to a wireless network
NOTE: Internet hardware and software features vary depending on computer model and your
location.
Your computer may support one or both of the following types of Internet access:
● Wireless—For mobile Internet access, you can use a wireless connection. Refer to
Connecting
to an existing WLAN on page 15 or Setting up a new WLAN network on page 16.
● Wired—You can access the Internet by connecting to a wired network. For information on
connecting to a wired network, refer to the HP Notebook Reference Guide.
Using an Internet service provider (ISP)
Before you can connect to the Internet, you must establish an ISP account. Contact a local ISP to
purchase Internet service and a modem. The ISP will help set up the modem, install a network cable
to connect your wireless computer to the modem, and test the Internet service.
NOTE: Your ISP will give you a user ID and password to access the Internet. Record this
information and store it in a safe place.
