1.1Introduction

A wireless network is a convenient way of setting up a network both at home and in the office. The lack of a physical infrastructure, such as LAN cables, reduces the cost of implementing a network environment.

As a home user, you can enjoy the freedom to roam around your house and still maintain connection to your network. Surfing the web, sending e-mail or downloading a program while in the garden, near your swimming pool or anywhere in your house, is now a reality.

With the many benefits that a wireless network environment brings, many users are contemplating of expanding their network environment with wireless devices.
