Before installing your wireless access point, please take a few minutes to review the wireless networking functions described in this section.

Access Point

Generally, access points wirelessly connect networks together, such as your network with the Internet. Or, by configuring multiple clients such as laptops, each using their own access point, you are able to create your own private wireless Ad-Hoc network.

LAN

Local Area Network. A local area network provides a full-time, high-bandwidth connection over a limited area such as a home, building, or campus. Ethernet is the most widely used LAN standard.
