Finding your hardware and software information 11

3 Connecting to a network
Your tablet can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can explore the globe and access
information from millions of websites using your tablet and a wireless network connection. This chapter will
help you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Wireless technology transfers data across radio waves instead of wires. Your tablet may be equipped with
one or more of the following wireless devices:
●Wireless local area network (WLAN) device—Connects the tablet to wireless local area networks
(commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate offices, your home,
and public places such as airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the
mobile wireless device in your tablet communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.
●Bluetooth device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled
devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each device
communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively close together—typically
within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.
For more information about wireless technology, see the information and website links provided in HP
Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, on the Start screen, tap the HP Support Assistant app.
Using the wireless controls
The Network and Sharing Center allows you to set up a connection or network, connect to a network, manage
wireless networks, and diagnose and repair network problems.
To use operating system controls:
1. Swipe from the right edge of the touch screen to display the charms, tap Settings, and then tap Control
Panel.
2. Select Network and Internet, and then tap Network and Sharing Center.
For more information, access HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, on the Start screen, tap
the HP Support Assistant app.
Using a WLAN
With a WLAN device, you can access a wireless local area network (WLAN), which is composed of other
computers and accessories that are linked by a wireless router or a wireless access point.
NOTE: The terms wireless router and wireless access point are often used interchangeably.
●A large-scale WLAN, such as a corporate or public WLAN, typically uses wireless access points that can
accommodate a large number of computers and accessories and can separate critical network
functions.
●A home or small office WLAN typically uses a wireless router, which allows several wireless and wired
computers to share an Internet connection, a printer, and files without requiring additional pieces of
hardware or software.
12 Chapter 3 Connecting to a network

To use the WLAN device in your tablet, you must connect to a WLAN infrastructure (provided through a
service provider or a public or corporate network).
Using an Internet service provider
When you are setting up Internet access in your home, you must establish an account with an Internet service
provider (ISP). To purchase Internet service and a modem, contact a local ISP. The ISP will help set up the
modem, install a network cable to connect your wireless tablet to the modem, and test the Internet service.
NOTE: Your ISP will give you a user ID and a password to use for Internet access. Record this information
and store it in a safe place.
Setting up a WLAN
To set up a WLAN and connect to the Internet, you need the following equipment:
●A broadband modem (either DSL or cable) (1) and high-speed Internet service purchased from an
Internet service provider
●A wireless router (2) (purchased separately)
●A wireless tablet (3)
NOTE: Some modems have a built-in wireless router. Check with your ISP to determine what type of
modem you have.
The illustration below shows an example of a wireless network installation that is connected to the Internet.
As your network grows, additional wireless and wired computers can be connected to the network to access
the Internet.
For help in setting up your WLAN, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your ISP.
Configuring a wireless router
For help in setting up a WLAN, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your ISP.
NOTE: It is recommended that you initially connect your new wireless tablet to the router by using the
network cable provided with the router. When the tablet successfully connects to the Internet, disconnect the
cable, and access the Internet through your wireless network.
Protecting your WLAN
When you set up a WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always enable security features to protect your
network from unauthorized access. WLANs in public areas (hotspots) like coffee shops and airports may not
provide any security. If you are concerned about the security of your tablet in a hotspot, limit your network
activities to email that is not confidential and basic Internet surfing.
Wireless radio signals travel outside the network, so other WLAN devices can pick up unprotected signals.
Take the following precautions to protect your WLAN:
●Use a firewall.
Connecting to a wireless network 13

A firewall checks both data and requests for data that are sent to your network, and discards any
suspicious items. Firewalls are available in both software and hardware. Some networks use a
combination of both types.
●Use wireless encryption.
Wireless encryption uses security settings to encrypt and decrypt data that is transmitted over the
network. For more information, access HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, on the
Start screen, tap the HP Support Assistant app.
Connecting to a WLAN
To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the WLAN device is on.
2. On the Start screen, swipe from the right edge of the touch screen to display the charms, tap Settings,
and then tap the network icon.
– or –
On the Windows desktop, tap the network status icon in the notification area, at the far right of the
taskbar.
3. Be sure that airplane mode is off, select a WLAN from the list, and then tap Connect.
If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the code, and
then tap Sign in.
NOTE: If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.
NOTE: If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to, on the Start screen, swipe from the right
edge of the touch screen to display the charms, tap Search, tap in the Search box, type network and
sharing, and then select Network and Sharing Center, or on the Windows desktop, tap and hold the
network status icon, and then tap Open Network and Sharing Center. Tap Set up a new connection or
network. A list of options is displayed, allowing you to manually search for and connect to a network or
to create a new network connection.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.
After the connection is made, tap the network status icon in the notification area, at the far right of the
taskbar, to verify the name and status of the connection.
NOTE: The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN implementation,
router manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural barriers such as walls and
floors.
Using Bluetooth wireless devices
A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable
connections that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following:
●Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA)
●Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone)
●Imaging devices (printer, camera)
●Audio devices (headset, speakers)
●Mouse
