7 Thomson Gateway Wireless Configuration
Overview
The Thomson Gateway IEEE802.11b/g compliant WLAN interface allows you to share its high-speed Internet
connection with multiple networking stations in a local network, without needing to (re-)wire your home.
The Thomson Gateway acts as a wireless Access Point (AP), connecting wireless stations and transferring
data between them.
Depending on whether you have a residential (500 or 700 series) or business (600 series) device, your
configuration can be fine tuned. This section is divided into two parts:
>
The first part describing basic configuration (all products). See
>
The second part describing advanced or expert configuration (business products only). See
Configuration" on page
!
Virtual Access Point functionality (multiple SSIDs) can - if supported by the Thomson Gateway - be
configured via the device's Command Line Interface (CLI). For more information, see the "CLI
Reference Guide" of your Thomson Gateway model.
