3 Connecting to a network
Your computer can travel with you wherever you go. But even at home, you can explore the globe and access
information from millions of websites using your computer and a wired or wireless network connection. This
chapter will help you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Your computer may be equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:
● WLAN device—Connects the computer to wireless local area networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi
networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate oices, your home, and public places such as airports,
restaurants, coee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the mobile wireless device in your
computer communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.
● HP Mobile Broadband Module—Gives you wireless connectivity over a wireless wide area network
(WWAN), a much larger area. Mobile network operators install base stations (similar to cell phone
towers) throughout large geographic areas, eectively providing coverage across entire states, regions,
or even countries.
● Bluetooth® device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled
devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each device
communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively close together—typically
within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.
Using the wireless controls
You can control the wireless devices in your computer using one or more of these features:
● Airplane mode key (also called wireless button or wireless key) (referred to in this chapter as airplane
mode key)
● Operating system controls
Airplane mode key
The computer may have an airplane mode key, one or more wireless devices, and one or two wireless lights.
All the wireless devices on your computer are enabled at the factory.
The wireless light indicates the overall power state of your wireless devices, not the status of individual
devices.
Operating system controls
The Network and Sharing Center allows you to set up a connection or network, connect to a network, and
diagnose and repair network problems.
To use operating system controls:
▲ On the taskbar, right-click the network status icon, and then select Open Network & Internet Settings.
‒ or –
▲ On the taskbar, select the network status icon, and then select Network and Sharing Center.
Connecting to a wireless network 7
Connecting to a WLAN
NOTE: When you are setting up Internet access in your home, you must establish an account with an
Internet service provider (ISP). To purchase Internet service and a modem, contact a local ISP. The ISP will
help set up the modem, install a network cable to connect your wireless router to the modem, and test the
Internet service.
To connect to a WLAN, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the WLAN device is on.
2. On the taskbar, right-click the network status icon, and then connect to one of the available networks.
If the WLAN is a security-enabled WLAN, you are prompted to enter a security code. Enter the code, and
then select Next to complete the connection.
NOTE: If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.
NOTE: If you do not see the WLAN you want to connect to:
1. On the taskbar, right-click the network status icon, and then select Open Network & Internet
Settings.
‒ or –
On the taskbar, select the network status icon, and then select Network & Internet Settings.

3. Select Set up a new connection or network.
A list of options is displayed, allowing you to manually search for and connect to a network or to
create a new network connection.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection.
After the connection is made, right-click the network status icon at the far right of the taskbar, to verify the
name and status of the connection.
NOTE: The functional range (how far your wireless signals travel) depends on WLAN implementation, router
manufacturer, and interference from other electronic devices or structural barriers such as walls and oors.
Using HP Mobile Broadband (select products only)
Your HP Mobile Broadband computer has built-in support for mobile broadband service. Your new computer,
when used with a mobile operator’s network, gives you the freedom to connect to the Internet, send e-mail,
or connect to your corporate network without the need for Wi-Fi hotspots.
You might need the HP Mobile Broadband Module IMEI and/or MEID number to activate mobile broadband
service. The number may be printed on a label located on the bottom of your computer, inside the battery bay,
under the service door, or on the back of the display.
‒ or –
1. On the taskbar, select the network status icon.
2. Select Network & Internet Settings.
3. Under the Network & Internet section, select Cellular, and then select Advanced Options.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a subscriber identity module (SIM) card. A SIM card
contains basic information about you, such as a personal identication number (PIN), as well as network
information. Some computers include a SIM card that is preinstalled. If the SIM card is not preinstalled, it may
8 Chapter 3 Connecting to a network
be included with the HP Mobile Broadband documents provided with your computer, or the mobile network
operator may provide it separately from the computer.
For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile network
operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband information included with your computer.
Using GPS (select products only)
Your computer may be equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) device. GPS satellites deliver location,
speed, and direction information to GPS-equipped systems.
To enable GPS, make sure location is enabled under the Location setting.
1. Type location in the taskbar search box, and then make the selection for location.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions for using location settings.
Using Bluetooth wireless devices (select products only)
A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable connections
that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following:
● Computers (desktop, notebook)
● Phones (cellular, cordless, smartphone)
● Imaging devices (printer, camera)
● Audio devices (headset, speakers)
● Mouse
● External keyboard
Connecting Bluetooth devices
Before you can use a Bluetooth device, you must establish a Bluetooth connection.
1. Type bluetooth in the taskbar search box, and then select Bluetooth and other devices settings.
2. Select Add Bluetooth or other device.
3. Select your device from the list, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: If the device requires verication, a pairing code is displayed. On the device you are adding, follow the
on-screen instructions to verify that the code on your device matches the pairing code. For more information,
refer to the documentation provided with the device.
NOTE: If your device does not appear in the list, be sure that Bluetooth on that device is turned on. Some
devices may have additional requirements; refer to the documentation provided with the device.
Connecting to a wired network—LAN (select products only)
Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the computer directly to a router in your home (instead of
working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your oice.
Connecting to a LAN requires an RJ-45 (network) cable and a network jack or an optional docking device or
expansion port, if there is no RJ-45 jack on the computer.
Connecting to a wired network—LAN (select products only) 9
To connect the network cable, follow these steps:
1. Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the computer.
2. Plug the other end of the network cable into a network wall jack (2) or router.
NOTE: If the network cable contains noise suppression circuitry (3), which prevents interference from
TV and radio reception, orient the circuitry end of the cable toward the computer.
