Wireless LAN (WLAN)
This Notebook PC’s built-in WLAN is a compact and easy-to-use
wireless Ethernet adapter that implements the IEEE 802.11 standard.
It is capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2.4GHz/5GHz frequencies.
The built-in WLAN is backward compatible with earlier IEEE
802.11 standards. To provide efficient security to your wireless
communication, the optional built-in wireless LAN comes with a
64-bit/128-bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA) features.
For security concerns, DO NOT connect to an unsecured network;
otherwise, the information transmission without encryption
might be visible to others.
