Wireless Networking Basics

Your CGNM-2250's wireless network is part of the Local Area Network (LAN), known
as the Wireless LAN (WLAN). The WLAN is a network of radio links between the
CGNM-2250 and the other computers and devices that connect to it.

Architecture

The wireless network consists of two types of device: access points (APs) and
clients.
The access point controls the network, providing a wireless connection to each
client.
The wireless clients connect to the access point in order to receive a wireless
connection to the WAN and the wired LAN.
