Connecting to networks

You can connect to networks with either a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) connection. You cannot
enable Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections at the same time.

Connecting to wireless networks

The wireless network capability of the all-in-one lets you connect the all-in-one to wireless local area
networks (commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs). In a WLAN, the
mobile wireless module in your all-in-one communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access
point.

NOTE:

To set up a WLAN and connect to the Internet, you need a broadband modem (either DSL

or cable) (purchased separately), high-speed Internet service purchased from an Internet service
provider, and a wireless router (purchased separately).

To connect to a wireless network:

Select the All Apps icon from the Home screen, and then select Settings.

NOTE:

The apps on the screen are arranged alphabetically.

Select Wi-Fi.

Select the ON button to turn the wireless radio on.

Select your WLAN from the list.

NOTE:

If no WLANs are listed, you may be out of range of a wireless router or access point.

If the WLAN is security-enabled, you are prompted to enter a security code. Type the code, and
then:

●

If proxy is not required, select Connect.

●

If proxy is required, select Show advanced settings. Next to Proxy settings, select None,
and then select Manual. Manually enter the proxy settings and select Connect.

Connecting to wired networks

Use a LAN connection if you want to connect the all-in-one directly to a router in your home (instead
of working wirelessly), or if you want to connect to an existing network at your office.

Connecting to a LAN requires an 8-pin, RJ-45 network cable.

To connect to a wired network:

Plug the network cable into the network jack (1) on the all-in-one.
