Roaming to another network
When you move your computer within range of another WLAN, Windows attempts to connect to that
network. If the attempt is successful, your computer is automatically connected to the new network. If
Windows does not recognize the new network, follow the same procedure you used initially to connect
to your WLAN.
Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)
HP Mobile Broadband enables your computer to use wireless wide area networks (WWANs) to access
the Internet from more places and over larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile
Broadband requires a network service provider, which in most cases is a mobile phone network provider.
When used with mobile network provider service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to stay
connected to the Internet, send e-mail, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on the
road or outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.
NOTE:
You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband
service. Refer to the Getting Started guide for the location of the serial number.
Some mobile network service providers require the use of a subscriber identity module (SIM). A SIM
contains basic information about you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network
information. Some computers include a preinstalled SIM. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be included
with the HP Mobile Broadband information provided with your computer, or it may be provided separately
by the mobile network service provider.
For information on inserting and removing the SIM, refer to
