Setting Up the HP TouchSmart PC 17
Using a Wireless Network and Bluetooth Devices
Your HP TouchSmart PC is designed to support a wireless local area network (LAN) and wireless
connections with other Bluetooth devices.
Setting up a wireless local area network
Your home LAN may consist of a wired or a wireless network that you can use to connect your
HP TouchSmart PC to other devices on the network, including other computers. The network components
may include a hub or a switch, which can connect multiple devices to the network, or a router, which can
connect computers or a broadband Internet connection to the network. This network connection also
enables you to share data, and printers or other devices among your computers. The network connection to
the Internet is usually through a broadband (DSL or cable) modem, which may require a separate
subscription.
For more information, see “Connecting to the Internet.”
Using Bluetooth devices
Bluetooth devices create a personal area network (PAN) to connect other Bluetooth devices such as
computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each device communicates
directly with the other devices, and the devices must be relatively close together.
