Connecting to a Wi-Fi network

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that provides network access at distances of up to 100 meters (328 feet) depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings. You can connect any ThinkPad Helix to a Wi-Fi network.

A Wi-Fi connection requires access to a functioning Wireless Access Point (WAP), also called a hotspot. Some hotspots are open to the public, but some others implement security features to limit access to specific groups or individuals.

Note: The range and quality of the Wi-Fi signal are affected by the number of connected devices, the infrastructure, and the objects through which the signal is transmitted.
