Configuring A Wireless Router; Protecting Your Wlan - HP Pavilion DM1z Getting Started Manual

Configuring a wireless router

For help in setting up a WLAN, refer to 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 new 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 turn on security features to protect your
network from unauthorized access.
For information on protecting your WLAN, refer to the HP Notebook Reference Guide.
