3 Network connections
Your tablet 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 tablet and a wired or wireless network connection. This
chapter will help you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Your tablet may be equipped with one or more of the following wireless devices:
WLAN device—Connects the tablet to wireless local area networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi
networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate offices, your home, and public places such as airports,
restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the mobile wireless device in your tablet
communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.
HP Mobile Broadband Module (select products only)—A wireless wide area network (WWAN) device that
gives you wireless connectivity over a much larger area. Mobile network operators install base stations
(similar to cell phone towers) throughout large geographic areas, effectively 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 tablet using one or more of these features:
Wireless button (also called airplane mode key or wireless key) (referred to in this chapter as wireless
button)
Operating system controls
Wireless button
The tablet may have a wireless button, one or more wireless devices, and one or two wireless lights. All the
wireless devices on your tablet 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:
1. Type control panel in the taskbar search box, and then select Control Panel.
2. Select Network and Internet, and then select Network and Sharing Center.
Connecting to a wireless network 11
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. Select the network status icon in the taskbar, 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, right-click the network status icon in the
taskbar, and then select Open Network and Sharing Center. 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, select 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
floors.
Using HP Mobile Broadband (select products only)
Your HP Mobile Broadband tablet has built-in support for mobile broadband service. Your new tablet, 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.
NOTE: If your tablet includes HP Mobile Connect, the instructions in this section do not apply. See
Using HP
Mobile Connect (select products only) on page 13.
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 tablet or on the back of the
display.
– Or –
You can find the number following these steps:
1. From the taskbar, select the network status icon.
2. Select View Connection Settings.
3. Under the Mobile broadband section, select the network status icon.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM card. A SIM card contains basic information about
you, such as a personal identification number (PIN), as well as network information. Some tablets include a
SIM card that is preinstalled. If the SIM card is not preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP Mobile Broadband
information provided with your tablet or the mobile network operator may provide it separately from the
tablet.
