About the Network (LAN)
The network (LAN) enables you to connect your VAIO computer to the Internet and transfer data between the
computer and other devices.
You can connect your VAIO computer to 1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T type networks with a LAN
cable (not supplied). Connect one end of a LAN cable to the LAN port on the computer and the other end to
your network. (LAN port equipped models)
You can also connect your VAIO computer to a network using the Wi-Fi(R) (Wireless LAN) function.
For information on peripheral devices required for LAN access, ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or refer
to the manual that came with your modem.
For information on how to connect your VAIO computer to the network, refer to your ISP’s instructions or the
manual that came with the modem and other peripheral devices. If you require information on the network
settings at your workplace, ask the network administrator.

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.
