Chapter 2: Get started
Wireless
Wireless access lets you connect additional (wireless-capable) devices to Telephony
Gateway. The 802.11 wireless LAN standard allows one or more computers to access the
TG9452 using a wireless (radio) signal. These connections are in addition to the connections
supported via Ethernet.
Wireless connections are easier to install than standard Ethernet connections. However,
wireless connections are slightly less secure, increasing the chances that unauthorized users
could “eavesdrop” on connections between the router and the connected device.
Note:
You can use the wireless connection if your computer has a built-in or
aftermarket plug-in wireless adapter. To learn more about which wireless hardware
works best with your computer, see your computer dealer.
Both
If you have two or more computers, you can use Ethernet for up to four devices and wireless
for the others. To connect five or more computers to the Ethernet ports, you will need an
Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers.)
