Installation

Using the WAP to expand local coverage

The WAP can act as a central point of communication of your wireless-equipped computers without connecting it to a wired network. Using the WAP in this manner will effectively double the range between your wireless-equipped computers by relaying the data from one computer to another. Simply locate the WAP in the center of the area you will be operating your network. The diagram below illustrates this concept.
