Wi-Fi

The Wi-Fi feature in your HP iPAQ enables wireless Internet connectivity and is an effective replacement for cable based connections. Wi-Fi uses access points to transmit and receive data. Your HP iPAQ can connect to an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi or connect directly to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

NOTE: The alphabet following 802.11 determines the frequency used, speed at which data transfer takes place, and the signal range for the Wi-Fi-enabled device.

Use Wi-Fi to complete these tasks:

Access the Internet.

Send and receive e-mail.

Access corporate network information.

Use VPNs for secure remote access.

Use hotspots for wireless connectivity. Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi.

NOTE: Using dial-up or wireless networks to access a corporate network, e-mail, or other wireless communications, such as Bluetooth devices, might require separate hardware together with a Wi-Fi infrastructure and a service contract.

Check with your service provider for availability of network coverage in your area. Not all Web content might be available. Some Web content might require installation of additional software.
