Getting to Know Your Wireless Router
How Your Wireless Router Fits In
(This section provides a very brief, general overview of how your
Wireless Router fits within a network. There are many books and
Web sites dedicated to this topic that can provide a more
comprehensive explanation, if you require one.)
With your Adaptec Ultra Wireless Router, you can connect a group
of computers on a LAN and/or a WLAN to each other and to a
Wide Area Network (WAN), which is typically the Internet.
Your Wireless Router connects wired and wireless stations on a
single network, lets you share one Internet connection among
multiple network computer stations, and provides extra protection
for your data by helping to prevent outsiders from accessing your
network.
