WIRELESS NETWORKING BASICS

Your CGN2'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 CGN2 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.
