Components of a wireless LAN
To set up your Wireless network at home you need to have the following:
Access point (router)
Access points (routers) are two-way transceivers that broadcast data into
the surrounding environment. Access points act as a mediator between
wired and wireless network. Most routers have a built-in DSL modem that
will allow you access to a high speed DSL internet connection. The ISP
(Internet Service Provider) you have chosen normally supplies a modem/
router with the subscription to their services. Read carefully the
documentation supplied with your Access point/router for detailed setup
instructions.
Network cable (RJ45)
A network cable (also called RJ45 cable) is used to connect the host
computer to the access point (see illustration below); this type of cable
may also be used to connect peripheral devices to the access point.
