Connect to the Internet from your home
Choose the type of Internet connection
There are 3 basic types of Internet connection:
■ Broadband: High-speed Internet access is available through
❏ Cable modem
❏ Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
❏ Satellite
❏ Other services
For broadband access, additional hardware and/or software
must be pro
vided by your ISP.
■ Wireless: For high-speed mobile Internet access, you can use
a wireless connection. A wireless network set up at home
requires a wireless router (purchased separately). To learn
about setting up wireless access, visit

about connecting to a WWAN, refer to the HP Broadband
Wireless Getting Started document, included with the
computer.
■ Dial-up: You can access the Internet by dialing in to a service
provider using a modem cable connected to the RJ-11
(modem) jack.
