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).

Using an Internet service provider

When you are setting up Internet access in your home, you must establish an account with an

Internet service provider (ISP). To purchase Internet service and a modem, contact a local ISP. The

ISP will help set up the modem, install a network cable to connect your wireless router to the modem,

and test the Internet service.

NOTE: Your ISP will give you a user ID and a password to use for Internet access. Record this

information and store it in a safe place.

Setting up a WLAN

To set up a WLAN and connect to the Internet, you need the following equipment:

● A broadband modem (either DSL or cable) (1) and high-speed Internet service purchased from

an Internet service provider

●

A wireless router (2) (purchased separately)

●

A wireless computer (3)

NOTE: Some modems have a built-in wireless router. Check with your ISP to determine what type

of modem you have.

The illustration below shows an example of a wireless network installation that is connected to the

Internet.
