Figure 1-4

Access points have a finite range, on the order of 50 meters indoor and 100 meters outdoors. In a

very large facility such as an enterprise, a warehouse, or on a college campus, it will probably be

necessary to install more than one access point to cover an entire building or campus, as shown in

Figure 1-5

. In this scenario, access points hand the client off from one to another in a way that is

invisible to the client. Ensuring Token connectivity, wireless clients can roam seamlessly between

different coverage areas and remain connected to the network.

Figure 1-5

Wireless Router and IP Sharing

In infrastructure mode, in addition to acting as a bridge between an Ethernet and wireless network,

the AP can be configured as a wireless router and IP sharing device for Internet access as shown in

Figure 1-6

. You don’t have to buy an expensive router. Nor do you have to buy several modems

and setup phone lines. Just share one AP, one modem, a single dial-up account, and one phone

line, dozens of network users can go surfing the Internet concurrently.
