Configuring A Wireless Router; Protecting Your Wlan - HP Elitebook 820 G1 Getting Started

Configuring a wireless router

For help in setting up a WLAN, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your ISP.
The Windows operating system also provides tools to help you set up a new wireless network. To use
the Windows tools to set up your network:
●
Select Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Set
up a new connection or network > Set up a network. Then follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: It is recommended that you initially connect your new wireless computer to the router by
using the network cable provided with the router. When the computer successfully connects to the
Internet, you can disconnect the cable, and then 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.
For information on protecting your WLAN, see the HP Notebook Reference Guide.
