The Wireless Technology 
 
Standard 
The Wireless Access Point utilizes the 802.11b and the 802.11g standards. The 
IEEE 802.11g standard is an extension of the 802.11b standard. It increases 
the data rate up to 54 Mbps (108Mbps in Super G mode) within the 2.4GHz 
band, utilizing OFDM technology. This means that in most environments, within 
the specified range of this device, you will be able to transfer large files quickly 
or even watch a movie in MPEG format you’re your network without noticeable 
delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a 
radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 
technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller 
sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to 
the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of cross talk (interference) in signal 
transmissions. The AP will automatically sense the best possible connection 
speed to ensure the greatest speed and range possible. 802.11g offers the 
most advanced network security features available today, including: WPA, TKIP, 
AES and Pre-Shared Key mode. 
 
Planning Your Wireless Network 
 
Network Topology 
A wireless network is a group of computers, each equipped with one wireless 
adapter. Computers in a wireless network must be configured to share the 
same radio channel. Several PCs equipped with wireless cards or adapters can 
communicate with one another to form an ad-hoc network. The wireless 
adapters also provide users access to a wired network when using an access 
point or wireless router. An integrated wireless and wired network is called an 
infrastructure network. Each wireless PC in an infrastructure network can talk 
to any computer in a wired network infrastructure via the access point or 
wireless router. An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a 
wireless PC to a wired network, and may double the effective wireless 
transmission range for two wireless adapter PCs. Since an access point is able 
to forward data within a network, the effective transmission range in an 
infrastructure network may be doubled.
