Using a WLAN

With a WLAN device, you can access a wireless local area network (WLAN), which is composed of other

computers and accessories that are linked by a wireless router or a wireless access point.

NOTE:

The terms wireless router and wireless access point are often used interchangeably.

●

A large-scale WLAN, such as a corporate or public WLAN, typically uses wireless access points

that can accommodate a large number of computers and accessories and can separate critical

network functions.

●

A home or small office WLAN typically uses a wireless router, which allows several wireless and

wired computers to share an Internet connection, a printer, and files without requiring additional

pieces of hardware or software.

To use the WLAN device in your computer, you must connect to a WLAN infrastructure (provided through

a service provider or a public or corporate network).
