modem to share access to the Internet among multiple computers.
Communicating with an Access Point (infrastructure)
An infrastructure network is one that extends an existing wired local network to
wireless devices by providing an access point. The access point bridges the
wireless and wired LAN and acts as a central controller for the Wireless LAN.
The access point coordinates transmission and reception from multiple wireless
devices within a specific range.
To communicate with an access point
1
Turn on the notebook, and insert the Wireless LAN PC Card into the
notebook’s PC Card slot on the left. Make sure you push the base of the
antenna or sides of the card. Pushing the protruding part of the antenna could
damage it.
2
Click Start on the Windows taskbar, and then Control Panel.
3
Click Network and Internet Connections, and then Network Connections.
