About Wireless LANs

Wireless LANs are a revolutionary way of connecting devices to each other. In a

wireless LAN, information is transmitted using radio waves. This means that you

can establish a network of wireless devices in a room or across different rooms

without linking the devices with wires and cables.

Depending on your needs, a wireless LAN can be the sole network solution, or an

extension of a wired LAN.

Features and

Benefits of

Wireless LANs

Using wireless LANs has many advantages:

❑

Convenience, cost effectiveness and flexibility

Setting up a wireless LAN is easy, fast and cost effective as you do not need to install

additional wiring.

❑ Mobility

Unlike wired LANs, a wireless LAN allows you to move around and still remain connected

to the network.

❑ Scalability

You can choose to configure your wireless LAN in Ad-hoc mode or Infrastructure mode. In

Ad-hoc mode, a wireless client can communicate with other wireless clients directly. In

Infrastructure mode, one or more wireless clients are connected to an access point (AP)

router, and this AP router connects these wireless clients to other wireless and wired

clients. See "About Ad-Hoc Mode" on page A-2 and "About Infrastructure Mode" on page

A-3 for more information.
