Wireless Access Point (AP) is a network bridge that provides an easy and quick 

solution for the wireless stations to access an existing wired local area network. An 

Access Point extends the reach and usefulness of the wired network resources. 

When you connect a Wireless AP to an Ethernet port of a hub or switch on your wired 

LAN, many wireless clients can also access the network resources. Radio frequency 

(RF) waves link the wireless clients to an AP, and the AP works as a bridge between 

the wireless clients and the wired LAN or Ethernet clients.

A wireless LAN compliant to IEEE 802.11b operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. 

Other products that operate in this frequency band, such as microwave ovens and 

2.4 GHz cordless phones, can cause interference.

DSSS and FHSS are two different digital modulation techniques that use spread 

spectrum transmission methods. With FHSS, the data rates are limited to 2 Mbps, 

while DSSS provides data rates up to 11 Mbps. In DSSS, the large bandwidth is 

effectively split into frequency channels and the signal is then spread across the 

channels in a predetermined pseudo random sequence. In DSSS, the digital data is 

encoded with a series of codes.

Wireless Access Point and clients that adhere to 802.11b standard use DSSS (Direct 

Sequence Spread Spectrum) technology. This technology has an inherent security 

feature called scrambling, which makes it difficult for an intruder to intercept and 

decipher the encoded wireless data. For enhanced security, your wireless network 

must use a unique SSID. You can also enable the WEP function so that the data is 

encrypted before being transmitted.
