2. Pinch the lever on the plug in the computer's modem jack and pull it out 
from within the computer.
Wireless communications
The computer's wireless communication function supports both Wireless 
LAN and Bluetooth devices.
Some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth 
functions.
Wireless LAN
The Wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems based on Direct 
Sequence Spread Spectrum/Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing 
radio technology that complies with the IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN 
standard.
Frequency Channel Selection of 5GHz for IEEE 802.11a or n draft 2.0
Frequency Channel Selection of 2.4GHz for 802.11b/g or n draft 2.0
Roaming over multiple channels
Card power management
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption based on an 128-bit 
encryption algorithm

3. Follow the wizard. You will need the name of the wireless network 
together with security settings. Consult the documentation 
accompanied with your router or ask your wireless network 
administrator for the settings.
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN, and the distance over 
which the wireless LAN can reach, may vary depending on surrounding 
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and 
configuration, client design and software/hardware configurations. The 
transmission rate described is the theoretical maximum speed as specified 
under the appropriate standard - the actual transmission speed will be 
lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
