Frequently Asked Questions

Q.Can the access point act as my DHCP Server?

No. The access point is nothing more than a wireless hub, and as such cannot be configured to handle DHCP capabilities.

Q.Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network?

This depends on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network. Consult the application’s documentation to determine if it supports operation over a network.

Q.Can I play multiplayer games with other users of the wireless network?

Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN (local area network). Refer to the game’s documentation for more information.

Q.Can the access point work with a Centrino client?

Yes. However, a Centrino client only supports 20 MHz channels so the maximum throughput with this client will be 130 Mbps. A WPC300N is recommended instead.

Q.What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?

It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks. The 802.11b standard allows wireless networking hardware from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that the hardware complies with the 802.11b standard. The 802.11b
