Connect to the Internet from your home

The computer includes hardware and software that allows you to connect to the Internet. Before you can access the Internet, choose an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and choose the type of Internet connection you want, such as broadband, wireless, or dial-up. Then connect the hardware.

Internet hardware and software features vary depending on the computer model and your location.

Choosing an ISP

You must set up Internet service before you can connect to the Internet. The computer includes the New Connection Wizard to help you set up a new Internet account or configure the computer to use an existing account.
