Setting up a WLAN
To set up a WLAN and connect to the Internet, you need the following equipment:
● A broadband modem (either DSL or cable) (1) and high-speed Internet service purchased from
an Internet service provider
● A wireless router (2) (purchased separately)
● A wireless computer (3)
NOTE: Some modems have a built-in wireless router. Check with your ISP to determine what type
of modem you have.
The illustration below shows an example of a wireless network installation that is connected to the
Internet.
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, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your
