Extending your Small Business Wireless Network
Introduction
A wireless network can be more than just one access point or gateway. A
number of wireless access points can be used to create one large wireless
network or a number of smaller individual networks. Expanding your wireless
network need not be a complex procedure.
This document will detail what is needed to expand your wireless network
from one wireless access point or gateway to incorporate multiple access
points. And steps on how to expand your wireless network from an
OfficeConnect Wireless Cable/DSL Gateway to include a 3Com Access Point
2000.
For general information on wireless networking for the small business please
refer to Wireless Networking for Small and Home Offices. For information on
wireless security please refer to Improving Your Wireless Security. Both white
papers are available from www.3com.com.
