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 or tablet PC. For example, you can take your notebook or 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 218.
Important If your notebook came equipped with an internal radio
frequency wireless device, see “Safety, Regulatory, and
Legal Information” on page 307 for general wireless
regulatory and safety guidelines. To find out if your
notebook has an internal wireless device, check the label
(see “Identifying your model” on page 12) or the device
manager.
