Example access point wireless Ethernet 
network
By using an access point, you can join a wireless Ethernet network and access 
a wired Ethernet network. The following example shows how an access point 
also lets you access the Internet.
The following is an example of an access point wireless Ethernet network. The 
network is made up of an access point, a cable or DSL modem, and your 
computers. The access point is the central control point for the network. 
Attached to the access point is the cable or DSL modem that provides access 
to the Internet. Each of the computers or Ethernet-ready devices communicate 
with the access point using radio waves. If your computer does not have built-in 
wireless Ethernet capabilities, you need to add a wireless PCI card (desktop), 
PC card (notebook), or USB adapter.
Tips & Tricks
If you want to access a wireless Ethernet network from 
your wired Ethernet network, connect an access point to 
the router, switch, or hub. For more information about
