1.1 Introduction
A wireless network is a convenient way of setting up a network both at home and in the
office. The lack of a physical infrastructure, such as LAN cables, reduces the cost of
implementing a network environment.
As a home user, you can enjoy the freedom to roam around your house and still
maintain connection to your network. Surfing the web, sending e-mail or downloading a
program while in the garden, near your swimming pool or anywhere in your house, is
now a reality.
With the many benefits that a wireless network environment brings, many users are
contemplating of expanding their network environment with wireless devices.
