System Configurations

W500 can be set up for a wealth of network systems configurations.
In a wireless infrastructure,
The access point links wireless clients with one another. Here the AP is at the
center of all wireless communication. This makes communication more effi-
cient, because the wireless adapters do not have to be within direct range of
each other.
W500 allows access to your wired LAN. A LAN with integrated wired and wire-
less components is known as infrastructure configuration. A group of WLAN-PC
users and an access point form a basic service set (BSS). Each wireless con-
nected PC in this BSS can make contact with every computer in your wired net-
work via the access point.
W500 acts as an access point (AP) with repeater.
