network topology

A wireless Local Area Network (LAN) uses a wireless adapter to connect each computer to the network. Computers in a wireless network must be configured to share the same radio channel.

The Wireless USB Network Adapter provides wireless computers access to a wired network. This integrated wireless and wired network is called an “infrastructure” configuration. A group of wireless-network-adapter-equipped computers plus a wireless access point, such as the HP Wireless Network Access Point, is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). The wireless access point connects the wireless network to the conventional wired network. Each wireless-adapter-equipped computer can communicate with any computer in a wired network infrastructure via the wireless access point.

An infrastructure configuration doubles the effective wireless transmission range of two wireless-adapter-equipped PCs since the wireless access point forwards data within the network. It is essential to use a unique ID (a BSSID, or simply, an SSID) within a wireless network. All PCs within an independent wireless network that are configured without roaming options (see Roaming below) must be configured with the same wireless network ID.

The wireless network infrastructure configuration is appropriate for enterprise-scale wireless access to a central database and for mobile users.

roaming

Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. Multiple wireless network can be configured as an “extended” wireless network, known as an Extended Service Set (ESS), allowing users to roam freely within it. All wireless- adapter-equipped PCs within one extended network must be configured with the same extended network ID (an ESSID, or taken generically with a BSSID as discussed above, often called an SSID,) and must use the same radio channel.

Before enabling an extended wireless network with roaming capability, select a feasible radio channel and an optimal location for the wireless access point. Proper wireless access point positioning and a clear radio signal will enhance performance.
