Creating a wireless Ethernet network
After you have turned on wireless Ethernet networks, you may want to create
a new wireless Ethernet network. You can create either an access point or
peer-to-peer wireless Ethernet network.
Access Point
An access point is a device that allows you to both join a wireless network and
access a wired network at the same time. You can create an access point
wireless network if you purchased an RG1000 or equivalent access point. The
figure below shows an example of an access point network.
To create an access point wireless Ethernet network:
1 Click Start, then select Control Panel.
2 Click Network and Internet Connections. The Network and Internet
Connections window opens.
3 Click Network Connections. The Network Connections window opens.
4 Right-click Wireless Network Connection.
