Setting up a new WLAN

Required equipment:

A broadband modem (either DSL or cable) (1) and high-speed Internet service purchased from
an Internet service provider (ISP)

A wireless router (purchased separately) (2)

The wireless computer (3)

The illustration below shows an example of a wireless network installation that is connected to the
Internet.

NOTE:

Some cable modems include a built-in router. Check with your ISP to see if you need a

separate router.

NOTE:

When setting up a wireless connection, be sure that your computer and wireless router are

synchronized. To synchronize your computer and wireless router, turn your computer and wireless
router off and then back on.

As your network grows, additional wireless and wired computers can be connected to the network to
access the Internet.

For help in setting up your WLAN, refer to the information provided by your router manufacturer or
your ISP.
