4.2 AP mode under XP
When you want to use the wireless adapter's AP function, please right click the UI icon on the
taskbar of your computer desktop and select "Switch to AP Mode".
In this mode, the wireless adapter acts as an AP to transmit wireless signal and create a wireless
network, while allowing other wireless clients to access this network.
As shown in the diagram below: The PC in the left has already accessed to the Internet by using
a wired network adapter, meanwhile, you install awireless adapter (take a USB wireless adapter as
an example) and its UI on this computer, and set the adapter to AP mode.
By using the wireless adapters to scan the AP'S SSID to connect, the computers in the right can
also access to the Internet after successfully connected
