You can connect to the Internet without connecting a wire to your computer by setting up a wireless access point or residential 
gateway. A wireless access point does not connect you to the Internet directly. Instead, it connects to a wired connection such as a 
cable modem, a DSL modem, or a phone line. 
  
Certain wireless technologies are being used to connect to an access point. Wireless LAN (the IEEE 802.11 standard) and 
Bluetooth technologies work similarly for wireless networking. 
  
To connect to an access point, you will need several pieces of information. You will need to know the network name (obtain this 
from your administrator), and your MAC address (which should have come with your computer or wireless networking card). You 
may also need to set up encryption. Contact your administrator for your network name and encryption settings. You may need to 
register your MAC address with your network administrator before connecting to your company network. A residential gateway is 
the consumer version of an access point. Consult your residential gateway instructions for setup. 
  
Be careful to disable the wireless function when you are not using it because it uses power even when you are not connected to the 
network. Some models have an integrated Wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth antenna and hardware. If your computer did not come 
with integrated wireless, you can purchase a PC Card as an option. Wireless LAN gives you a high-speed connection to an access 
point. 
  
If your computer comes with the built-in wireless networking card, refer to
