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.

More information about using a WLAN is available through:

Your ISP and the user guides included with the wireless router and other WLAN equipment

Help and Support information and website links

For a list of public WLANs near you, contact your ISP or search the Web. Websites that list public WLANs
include Cisco Internet Mobile Office Wireless Locations, Hotspotlist, and Geektools. Check with each
public WLAN location for cost and connection requirements.

Roaming to another network

When you move the computer within range of another WLAN, Windows attempts to connect to that
network. If the attempt is successful, the computer is automatically connected to the new network. If
Windows does not recognize the new network, follow the instructions in “Connecting to a WLAN.”
