The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your NBG4615 is the AP.

15.1.1What You Can Do

•Use the General screen to enter the SSID, enable intra-BSS traffic, enable guest WLAN, and select the channel. (Section 15.2 on page 128).

•Use the Security screen to configure wireless security between the NBG4615 and the wireless clients.
