Connecting to networks

You can connect to networks with either a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. You cannot enable Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections at the same time.

Connecting to wireless networks

The all-in-one’s wireless network capability lets you connect the all-in-one to wireless local area networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs). In a WLAN, the mobile wireless module in your all-in-one communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.

NOTE: To set up a WLAN and connect to the Internet, you need a broadband modem (either DSL or cable) (purchased separately), high-speed Internet service purchased from an Internet service provider, and a wireless router (purchased separately).

To connect to a wireless network:

1.Select the All Apps icon from the Home page, and then select Settings.

2.Select Wi-Fi.

3.Select the ON button to turn the wireless radio on.

4.Select your WLAN from the list.

NOTE: If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.

5.If the WLAN is security-enabled, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the code, and then select Connect.
