Understanding your
AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This chapter provides a basic understanding of network principles, so you
can begin to take advantage of your new AnyPoint™ Wireless II Network.
It also gives you useful information that will help you modify your network
to meet your changing needs.
To get the most out of your home or small business network, think about
what you can gain when you connect all your PCs together so they work as
a group. For example, with two or more PCs connected together, you can:
• Share an Internet connection
• Share a printer
• Share files such as spreadsheets and written documents
• Play digital audio from another PC
• Play head-to-head multi-player games
• Use your laptop at home and at work
And the included Firewall and Web site filtering features help you to:
• Protect your network from electronic intrusion
• Block access to objectionable Web sites
A network allows multiple users to share resources.
