Wireless LAN (WLAN)

This Notebook PC’s built-in WLAN is a compact and easy-to-use wireless Ethernet adapter that implements the IEEE 802.11 standard. It is capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2.4GHz/5GHz frequencies.

The built-in WLAN is backward compatible with earlier IEEE

802.11standards.To provide efficient security to your wireless communication, the optional built-in wireless LAN comes with a

64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) features.

For security concerns, DO NOT connect to an unsecured network; otherwise,the information transmission without encryption might be visible to others.
