Connecting to a WLAN in your home

To connect to your WLAN:

1.Be sure that the 802.11 wireless device is on. If it is on, the wireless light is on. If the wireless light is off, turn on the wireless device.

2.Be sure that your router is correctly installed and configured. For instructions, refer to your router user guide.

3.Use the Wireless Network Connection feature of Microsoft Windows XP to connect the computer to the WLAN.

NOTE Functional range for subsequent WLAN connections will vary, depending on the computer WLAN implementation, router manufacturer, and interference from walls and other electronic devices.

For more information about connecting to a WLAN in your home:

●Refer to information from your ISP and the user guide included with your wireless router and other WLAN equipment.

●Access the information and Web site links provided in the Help and Support Center.

Connecting to a public WLAN

Contact your ISP or search the Web for a list of public WLANs near you. Web sites that list public WLANs include Cisco Hotspot Locator, Hotspotlist, and Geektools.

When you are within range of a public WLAN, a Wireless Network Connection interactive message is displayed at the bottom of the computer screen. Check with each public WLAN location for cost and connection requirements.

Using wireless security features

When you set up your home WLAN or access an existing public WLAN, be sure that security features are protecting the WLAN. If you do not enable security on your WLAN, an unauthorized wireless user can access your information and use your Internet connection without your knowledge.

The most common security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)-Personal and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). In addition to enabling WPA-Personal or WEP security encryption on the router, you may want to use one or more of the following security measures:

●Change the default network name (SSID) and password.

●Use a firewall.

●Set security on your Web browser.

●Enable MAC address filtering on the router.
