 For a wireless LAN, the HP TouchSmart PC includes a built-in wireless LAN antenna, which you

can use to access your wireless home network.

 For a wired LAN, connect an Ethernet cable (sold separately) to the Ethernet connector on the back

of the computer, and then connect the other end to the network router or broadband modem.

Welcom e 15
