❑A wireless 802.11b or g network that includes a wireless access point.

Note If you are a Mac owner, Apple sells an easy-to-configure access point called AirPort. AirPort has to be connected to a Mac, but it accepts signals from any 802.11b-compatible wireless network device whether PC or Mac-based.

❑A desktop computer or laptop with either wireless networking support, or a network interface card (NIC). You can use either an Ethernet (wired) connection or a wireless connection from the computer to the access point. If you want to use an Ethernet connection to your access point, follow the directions in Wired network setup.
