Wi-Fi Connections
Wi-Fi or WLAN (wireless local area network) is a commonly used wireless
network in laptop systems that enables a connection to the Internet or other
portable systems that have Wi-Fi functionality. Wi-Fi networks broadcast radio
waves that can be picked up by Wi-Fi receivers that are attached to different
portable systems. Wi-Fi is also the brand name for WLAN technologies and
devices. The following Wi-Fi network bands are supported: A, B, G, N.
By default, DCP Connection Manager configures your Wi-Fi settings with the
default settings on your Dell laptop. From DCP Connection Manager, Wi-Fi
network connections can be added, removed or edited.
