Components of a wireless LAN
To set up your Wireless network at home you need to have the
following:
Access point (router)
Access points (routers) are two-way transceivers that broadcast data
into the surrounding environment. Access points act as a mediator
between wired and wireless network. Most routers have a built-in DSL
modem that will allow you access to a high speed DSL internet
connection. The ISP (Internet Service Provider) you have chosen
normally supplies a modem/router with the subscription to their
services. Read carefully the documentation supplied with your Access
point/router for detailed setup instructions.
Wireless adapter
Most computers feature a wireless module and Wi-Fi button that turns
the network connection on or off. You may also turn your wireless
network on or off, or control what is shared over the network with the
network management options.
Surf the Net!
To surf the internet, you need a program called an internet browser.
Microsoft Edge
provides an easy and secure web browsing experience.
As soon as you have your internet access installed and you are
connected, from the Start Menu, click the Microsoft Edge tile or the icon
located in the taskbar and take your internet experience to a new level!
