Wireless Setup

Caution

Make sure that the computer and access point or router are connected.

After confirming the connection, perform the following instructions to add (connect) the machine to the network.

(A) Internet

(B) Access point or wireless router, etc.

- Notes on Wireless Connection

The configuration, router functions, setup procedures and security settings of the network device vary depending on your system environment. For details, refer to the manual of your network device or contact its manufacturer.

Check if your device supports IEEE802.11n, 802.11g or 802.11b.

If your device is set to the "IEEE802.11 n only" mode, WEP or TKIP cannot be used as a security protocol. Change the security protocol for your device to something other than WEP and TKIP or change the setting to something other than "IEEE802.11 n only."

For office use, consult your network administrator.

Take added care when connecting to a network that is not protected with security measures, as there is a risk of disclosing data such as your personal information to a third party.

Caution

An "Ad-hoc connection," which establishes a direct connection to the computer over a wireless connection without an access point, is not supported. Be sure to prepare an access point.
