W500
can be set up for a wealth of network systems configurations.
Wireless Infrastructure
In a wireless infrastructure,
W500
acts as an access point (AP) with repeater.
The access point links wireless clients with one another. Here the AP is at the
center of all wireless communication. This makes communication more effi-
cient, because the wireless adapters do not have to be within direct range of
each other.
Wireless Infrastructure
with Stations in the
Wired LAN
W500
allows access to your wired LAN. A LAN with integrated wired and wire-
less components is known as infrastructure configuration. A group of WLAN-PC
users and an access point form a basic service set (BSS). Each wireless con-
nected PC in this BSS can make contact with every computer in your wired net-
work via the access point.
