Second, wireless network access

If your computer has a wireless network card, you can let your computer connect to the wireless network and use the Internet. There are many advantages of wireless network access, such as minimizing the complexity of wiring and liberating the scope of computer movement. Of course, there are also bad places. For example, data transmission by electromagnetic fields is easy to cause packet loss, and network stability is also better. The cable is poor.

Windows 8 has a relatively large change in wireless network connection, abandoning the traditional pop-up window and using the right sidebar for network connection.

First click on the network icon in the tray and check if the flight mode is enabled in the pop-up network sidebar. If it is turned on, you need to close it. Then find the private wireless network SSID (Wireless Webcast Name) in Wi-Fi and click “Connect”.

Enabling or disabling sharing is the same as the third step of connecting to a wireless network, where manual modifications can be made.

Third, VPN access

Due to the large network environment in China, sometimes we need to be blocked when accessing foreign websites (such as Facebook), then we need VPN access. The Chinese name of the VPN is a virtual private network. It is a technology for setting up a private network based on the public Internet, rather than a real network, so it becomes a virtual private network. Its main function is to provide secure and reliable network access, and has a strong ability to break through the network blockade.
