Network connections

A LAN (Local Area Network) is a group of computers (for

example, within an office building or home) that share a

common communications line and resources. When you set

up a network, you can share files, peripheral devices (such

as a printer) and an internet connection. You can set up a

LAN using wired technologies (such as Ethernet) or wireless

technologies (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth).

Wireless networks

A wireless LAN or WLAN is a wireless local area network,

which may link two or more computers without using wires.

Setting up a wireless network is easy and allows you to

share files, peripheral devices and an internet connection.

What are benefits of a wireless network?

Mobility

Wireless LAN systems allow you and other users of your

home network to share access to files and devices

connected to the network, for example a printer or scanner.

Also you can share an internet connection with other

computers in your home.

Installation speed and simplicity

Installing a wireless LAN system can be fast and easy and

eliminates the need to pull cables through walls and ceilings.

Note

If your computer includes a SIM card slot, you require a

compatible SIM card and a contract with a cellular provider.

Before using the cellular features, check with your service

provider to see if any additional charges will be incurred, especially

roaming charges.
