Connect to wired networks

Your computer does not include an RJ-45 Ethernet connector. If you want to connect to networks using a wired cable, you need to purchase and use one of the following adapters.
  1. Plug the USB connector of the adapter into the appropriate connector on your computer.
  2. Plug one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector on the adapter.
  3. Plug the other end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the appropriate connector to connect to the network.
Windows will automatically connect you to most networks once you have finished connecting the RJ-45 Ethernet cable. However, in some cases you may need to contact the network administrator to finish connecting to a wired network. This is most likely to happen at offices and events, but may be required as well for some home networks.
