WIRELESS GETTING STARTED
Setting up a Wireless Infrastructure Network
For a typical wireless setup at home (as shown below), please do the following:
Wireless AP Mode
The AP/Router is connected to a
wired network-
then
transforms the
wired Internet access into wireless
so that multiple devices can share
the Internet.
So this mode is fit for office, home
and places where only wired net-
work is available.
Wireless Repeater Mode
The AP/Router copies and reinforc-
es the existing wireless signal to
extend the coverage of the signal.
Don‘t change
the network’s name
(SSID) and password
yet
. This
mode is especially useful for a large
space to eliminate signal-blind-
corners.So this mode is fit forlarge
house, office, warehouse or other
spaces where the existing signal is
weak.
Router Mode
The AP/Router is connected to a
DSL or cable modem and works as
a regular wireless router. So this
mode is fit for the environment
which Internet access from DSL or
cable modem is available for one
user but more users need to share
the Internet.
