The following describes how to use the wireless LAN
based on AP connections.

AP Connections
You can connect to the Internet or a computer on
the network by connecting to AP on an AP-enabled
network.
Note
What is Access Point (AP)?
AP is a network device that connects wired LAN to
wireless LAN and corresponds to the wireless hub
of a wired network. Also, AP allows you to connect
more than one computer where wireless LAN is
enabled.

Small Office Network
The small office network interconnects computers
where wireless LAN is enabled wirelessly and is called
Peer-to-Peer (or Ad HOC). This method enables the
configuration of a small office network in one computer.
Then, another computer is connected to the computer
wirelessly for communications.
