With a Wi-Fi connection, you can roam about 150

around the access point (depends on different

environment), so find a spot where you can work without any interruption. Then see how much work you

can do, such as:

�

Easily and quickly receive and transmit files within your local network — no problem for big files.

�

Access your email and surf the web with the same speed as that connected with network cables.

�

Synchronize data between devices.

�

Take advantage of wireless printing — send files directly from your laptop PC to a wireless printer

over Wi-Fi connection.
