Chapter 1 Product Overview
1.1 Introduction
Wireless networking is a convenient way of setting up a network both at
home and in the office. The lack of physical infrastructure such as LAN
cables increases the cost of implementing a network environment.
However, with wireless networking, a networking structure can easily be
implemented.
As a home user, you can enjoy the freedom to roam around your house and
maintain connection to your network. Surfing the web, sending e-mail or
downloading a program while in the garden, near your swimming pool or
anywhere in your house has become a reality.
With the many benefits that a wireless network environment brings, many
new offices are contemplating of expanding their network environment
with wireless devices.
