A PC on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and
printers with any other PCs or servers connected to any of the three LAN segments.

Wireless stations will not be able to connect to the ME103 Access Points in the illustration

the wireless network with NETGEAR wireless antenna accessories.
