Wireless LAN Setup
Typical Setup Wizard
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a data-communications system and local area network
that flexibly extends the functionality of a wired LAN. A WLAN links two or more computers or
devices using spread-spectrum or OFDM modulation based technology. WLANs do not require
lining up devices for line-of-sight transmission, and are thus, desirable for wireless networking.
Roaming users can be handed off from one access point to another, like a cellular phone system.
WLANs can therefore be configured around the needs of specific user groups, even when they are
not in physical proximity.
Up to two (2) WLANs can be configured for the access point using the wizard.
