4 Connecting to the Internet
This section describes how to use a wireless computer to set up a typical home or small office
wireless network, which is also called a wireless local area network (WLAN).
To set up a wireless network and to connect to the Internet, you need the following
equipment:
■ A broadband modem (either DSL or cable) and high-speed Internet service purchased
from an Internet service provider (ISP)
■ A wireless router (purchased separately)
■ Your new wireless computer
The following illustration shows an example of a completed wireless network installation
that is connected to the Internet and to a wired computer. As this network grows, additional
wireless and wired computers can be connected to the network to access the Internet.
