Setting up for communications
To connect to the Internet, you need:
❖A browser or communications program
❖An Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service if you
plan to use the Internet
❖A way to connect to the ISP (for example Wi-Fi®/
LAN/ broadband connection, etc.)

Using Wireless LAN connectivity

Wireless connectivity and some features may require you
to purchase additional software, external hardware or
services. Availability of public wireless LAN access points
may be limited.
Your system may come with an optional wireless LAN
module. This is a technology that expands wireless
communication beyond networking equipment, and can
connect many different kinds of electronic devices without
the need for cables.
For information on how to set up a wireless connection, refer
to your wireless networking device documentation or your
network administrator.
To enable or disable wireless communication, use the F12
key. For more information see “TOSHIBA Function Keys”
on page 120.
For help with common Wi-Fi® networking problems, see
“Wireless networking problems” on page109.
