The Wireless LAN Access Point

The Wireless LAN Access Point, which is also called the access point, is
designed for building a Wireless LAN environment. If you purchase an access
point, you can easily build a wireless LAN environment by plugging the access
point into an AC power outlet and using the provided software with compatible
