In a wired network, computers are connected through a series of cables that 
transfer information. In a wireless network, information is transferred over radio 
waves. There are factors which affect the transmission of data “on the air” that you 
must take into account when setting up a wireless network. 

This section outlines the considerations for wireless networking and steps you can 
take to make your wireless network as efficient as possible.

In its simplest form, a wireless network is an Access Point communicating with 
one wireless device. An Access Point (AP) is a device that provides a 
communications hub for a wireless network. The AP and the wireless devices 
operate on a common radio channel. The FortiWiFi-50B acts as an AP and 
assigns all wireless users to the same subnet. With the proper firewall policies 
and routing, wireless users can communicate with users on the internal network or 
on an external network such as the Internet.

This chapter is specifically for the FortiWiFi-50B.
