HP x2 1011 G1 (Windows 8.1) manual Connecting to a local area network LAN

Connecting to a local area network (LAN)

Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office.

Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable and USB-to-RJ45 adapter. To connect the network cable, follow these steps:

1.Connect the USB-to-RJ45 adapter to the USB port on the computer and then plug the network cable into the network jack end (1) of the adapter.

2.Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.

NOTE: If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference from TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
