Checking Your Wi-Fi Environment
To use Wi-Fi, a Wi-Fi base unit (Wi-Fi router, etc.) that acts as your access
point must be connected to a computer. Be sure to use a Wi-Fi base unit

If you are already using Wi-Fi, confirm the following items and mark each
one on the Check sheet. For instructions on checking network settings,
refer to the access point user guide.

If system administrator status is needed to adjust network settings,
contact the system administrator for details.

These settings are very important for network security. Exercise
adequate caution when changing these settings.

A router is a device that creates a network (LAN) structure for connecting
multiple computers. A router that contains an internal Wi-Fi function is called a
“Wi-Fi router”.

MAC address by choosing the [
