Using a wireless Ethernet network
A wireless Ethernet network is ideal for creating a home or office network or
adding mobility to an existing wired Ethernet network. A wireless Ethernet
network allows you the freedom to move about your home or office with your
notebook, tablet PC, or convertible tablet PC. For example, you can take your
notebook, tablet PC, or convertible tablet PC from your home office to your
patio without having an Ethernet jack available.
Warning Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere
with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, and
IEEE 802.11g communication devices are examples of
devices that provide wireless communication. For
instructions to turn wireless Ethernet on and off, see
“Turning your wireless Ethernet emitter on or off” on
page 210.
Important If your convertible tablet PC came equipped with an
internal radio frequency wireless device, see “Safety,
Regulatory, and Legal Information” on page 309 for
general wireless regulatory and safety guidelines. To find
out if your convertible tablet PC has an internal wireless
device, check the label (see “Identifying your model” on
page 10) or the device manager.
