Equipment you need for an access point
wireless Ethernet network
For an access point wireless Ethernet network you need:
■
A wireless Ethernet PCI card installed in each desktop computer
- OR -
A wireless Ethernet USB adapter attached to each desktop or notebook
computer
- OR -
A notebook or tablet PC with wireless Ethernet built-in
- OR -
A wireless Ethernet PC Card installed in each notebook that does not have
wireless Ethernet built-in
■
A wireless Ethernet access point to connect your wireless Ethernet network
to the Internet or a wired Ethernet network
Important IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g use the same radio
frequency. IEEE 802.11a uses a different radio frequency
than IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g. All wireless
Ethernet components must use the same frequency. A
combination of IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b or
IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g components will
not work. Some wireless devices can broadcast and
receive signals on both frequencies.
A mixture of IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g components
will result in your network running at the speed of the
slower IEEE 802.11b components.
