Connecting to a Wi-Fi network

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that provides network access at distances of up to 100 meters
(328 feet) depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings. You can connect any ThinkPad Tablet 2 to
a Wi-Fi network.
A Wi-Fi connection requires access to a functioning Wireless Access Point (WAP), also called a hotspot.
Some hotspots are open to the public, but some others implement security features to limit access to
specific groups or individuals.
Note: The range and quality of the Wi-Fi signal is affected by the number of connected devices, the
infrastructure, and the objects through which the signal is transmitted.
