The partner used can be a wireless access point. An access point is a wireless transmit-
ter that communicates with your notebook and controls access to the network connec-
tion (e.g., a home network or a broadband connection such as DSL).
Wireless access points are often found in offices, airports, universities or Internet cafés.
They offer access to enterprise services and networks or to the Internet.
Access authorizations are normally needed. A fee may be required to use a public
access point. To set up a wireless network to share Internet access, files, and printers at
home, you will need an access point, a router, and a broadband (DSL or cable) mod-
em. Some access points can also serve as a router and/or a broadband modem. Check
with your retailer to find the best solution for your needs.
A link to another computer with wireless LAN functionality can also be created without
an access point. This will allow you to share files, but you will need an access point
and a router to share an Internet connection. The wireless network link works accord-
ing to standard IEEE 802.11n and is compatible to standard IEEE 802.11 b/g. Other
standards (802.11a etc.) are not supported.

speed can be max. 11 Mbp/s.
