Technologies such as infrared and Bluetooth are less and less popular because they are being replaced by modern wireless networks. Wi-Fi is used more and more often, as there are a large number of free points in cities.
Instructions
Step 1
On a laptop, the wireless connection is turned on with a specific key combination. Usually this is Fn + F2. To connect to the Internet, you need to search for specific access points. On a personal computer, you can connect to Wi-Fi only if you have a special removable device. Ask your Peripherals consultant about Wi-Fi devices for your personal computer. Prices may vary, however, it mainly depends on the radius of signal reception.
Step 2
Once the device is purchased, unpack it and insert it into your USB drive. If you have USB 3.0 technology in your computer, then insert the Wi-Fi there. The computer system will automatically detect the new device. The set also includes a CD with drivers. Insert it into the drive and install all drivers. Next, restart your computer so that all the saves in the system are fixed. After rebooting, an icon will appear in the tray that will show the Wi-Fi status.
Step 3
Go to the "Control Panel" item. This can be done using the "My Computer" shortcut. Next, click the shortcut called "Wireless Networks". Here you can find all the settings related to W-Fi technologies as well as Bluetooth. Click the Turn on Wi-Fi button.
Step 4
After that, the wireless technology will be active, but it is not yet possible to connect to the Internet, since you need to look for special access points that can be closed with passwords so that unauthorized persons cannot enter the system and automatically connect to the connection. To do this, click the "Find a new connection" button. The system will automatically start scanning access points that are within range.
Step 5
If no such systems are found, try scanning elsewhere. Once a connection is found, try connecting. As practice shows, some cafes and educational institutions use free access points that allow you to connect to the Internet. You can find a list of such establishments on the Internet using search engines.
