Wireless Communications
The computer’s wireless communication function supports some wireless
communication devices.
Wireless LAN
The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
radio technology that complies with IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standard
(Revision B, G or N).
Setting

2. Click Start → Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network
and Sharing Center.

Security
■ Be sure to enable encryption function. Otherwise your computer will
allow the illegal access by outsider through Wireless LAN to cause
illegal instruction, eavesdropping, and loss or destruction of stored data.
TOSHIBA strongly recommends the customer to enable the encryption
function.
■ Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) functionality near a
microwave
oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic
fields.
Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt
Wi-Fi
operation.
■ Turn all wireless functionalities off when near a person who may have a
cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device. Radio
waves may affect pacemaker or medical device operation, possibly
resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction of your medical device
when using any wireless functionality.
■ Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic
control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire
detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
■ It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified
network name using the ad hoc network function.
If this occurs, the
new network(*) will have to be configured for all
computers connected
to the same network in order to re-enable
network connections.
* Please be sure to use new network name.
