Connecting to a wireless network

Wireless technology transfers data across radio waves instead of wires. Your Slate may be equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:

●Wireless local area network (WLAN) device

●Bluetooth device (select models only)

●HP Mobile Broadband Module, a wireless wide area network (WWAN) device (select models only)

For more information on wireless technology and connecting to a wireless network, refer to the information and Web site links provided in Help and Support.

Connecting to an existing WLAN

2.Be sure that the WLAN device is on.

3.Tap the network icon in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.

NOTE: If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to, tap Open Network and Sharing Center, and then tap Set up a new connection or network. A list of options is displayed. You can choose to manually search for and connect to a network or to create a new network connection.
