3. Select
Wireless in the left pane of the PC settings screen.
4. Change the
Wi-Fi setting under Wireless devices to Off.
Hint
To enable the Wi-Fi function, turn off
Airplane mode and change the Wi-Fi setting under Wireless
devices to On.
To disable all wireless functions, turn on
Airplane mode.
The wireless function(s) whose setting is on will be enabled when you turn off
Airplane mode.

Notes on Using the Wi-Fi(R) (Wireless LAN) Function
Before using the Wi-Fi function, read the following precautions for correct use.
In some countries or regions, using the Wi-Fi products may be restricted by the local regulations.
Wi-Fi devices work on the 2.4 GHz band, which is used by a variety of devices. They use the technology to
minimize radio interference from other devices that use the same band; however, radio interference may still
slow communication speeds, reduce communication range, or cause communication failure.
If both the BLUETOOTH function and the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi function of your VAIO computer are enabled,
interference may occur and cause slower communication speeds or other problems.
To communicate via Wi-Fi while you are on the road, you may need to contract with a Wi-Fi connection
service provider.
If your VAIO computer is equipped with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n standard, outdoor use of the 5 GHz Wi-Fi
function is prohibited by law.
The communication speed and range may vary depending on the following conditions:
Distance between devices
Existence of obstacles between devices
Device configuration
Radio conditions
Ambient environment (including wall material, etc.)
Apps in use
Communications may be cut off depending on radio conditions.
The data transfer rate specified in the specification is the theoretical maximum, and may not reflect actual
data transfer rate.
Actual communication speed may not be as fast as the one displayed on your VAIO computer.
The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequency bands are not communicable with one another.
The data transfer rate of IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (2.4 GHz) may be affected by interference when
used with an IEEE 802.11b product. Also, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n automatically lower the transfer
rate to maintain compatibility with an IEEE 802.11b product. The transfer rate may be regained by changing
