Creating a wireless Ethernet network in 
Windows XP
After you have turned on wireless Ethernet networks, you may want to create 
a new wireless Ethernet network. You can create either an access point or 
peer-to-peer wireless Ethernet network.
Access Point
An access point is a device that allows you to join a wireless network and access 
a wired network at the same time. You can create an access point wireless 
network if you purchased an RG1000 or equivalent access point. This 
illustration shows an example of an access point network.
