Setting up a new WLAN network
Required equipment:
● A broadband modem (either DSL or cable) (1) and high-speed Internet service purchased from
an Internet service provider (ISP)
● A wireless router (purchased separately) (2)
● Your new wireless Slate (3)
NOTE: Some modems have a built-in wireless router. Check with your ISP to determine what type
of modem you have.

Internet. As your network grows, additional wireless and wired computers can be connected to the
network to access the Internet.
