Wireless Networking
 
 
 
A wireless local area network (or Wi-Fi for short) is exactly like a regular local 
area network (LAN), except that each computer in the wireless network uses a 
wireless device to connect to the network. Computers in a wireless network 
share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name 
shared by the wireless devices belonging to the same wireless network.   
 
The Router transmits data to PCs equipped with wireless network adapters, 
which can roam within a certain radial range of the Router. You can arrange the 
Router and multiple access points to work in succession to extend the roaming 
range, and you can set up your wireless network to communicate with your 
Ethernet hardware as well. The big advantage of Wi-Fi is its simplicity. You can 
connect computers anywhere in your home or office without the need for wires. 
The computers connect to the network using radio signals, and computers can 
be up to 100 feet or so apart.
