Installation speed and simplicity

Installing a wireless LAN system can be fast and easy and eliminates the 

need to pull cables through walls and ceilings. 

Components of a wireless LAN

To set up your Wireless network at home you need to have the following:

Access point (router)

Access points (routers) are two-way transceivers that broadcast data into the 

surrounding environment. Access points act as a mediator between wired 

and wireless network. Most routers have a built-in DSL modem that will allow 

you access to a high speed DSL internet connection. The ISP (Internet 

Service Provider) you have chosen normally supplies a modem/router with 

the subscription to their services. Read carefully the documentation supplied 

with your Access point/router for detailed setup instructions.
