Using the Wireless LAN
Using the Wireless LAN (WLAN), all your digital devices with the built-in WLAN function communicate freely with each other 
through a network. A WLAN is a network in which a user can connect to a Local Area Network (LAN) through a wireless (radio) 
connection.
Features and options in this section may not be available on your computer.
See the specifications to find out about the configuration of your computer.
The WLAN supports all normal Ethernet connectivity, but with the added benefits of mobility and roaming. You can still access 
information, Internet/intranet and network resources, even in the middle of a meeting, or as you move from one place to 
another.
You can communicate without an access point, which means that you can communicate with a limited number of computers 
(ad-hoc). Or you can communicate through an access point, which allows you to create a full infrastructure network.
