What are the basic requirements for wireless Internet access?

Symptom(s):
If I have a wireless capable notebook, will I be connected to the Internet anywhere?

Solution:
To connect wirelessly to the Internet, you must fall within the coverage area of a wireless network that offers access to the Internet. If this is your home, you will typically need to create the wireless network by obtaining a wireless gateway device (wireless router) and Internet service from a local Internet Service Provider (ISP). At the office you would need a wireless network available - check with your Information Technology (IT) department. If away from home, there are a variety of Wi-Fi hotspots located in airports, coffee shops, and the like that provide wireless networks.

Obtain a list of hotspot locations* verified with Intel® Centrino® processor technology.
