Creating a wireless Ethernet network in
Windows XP
After you have turned on wireless Ethernet networks, you may want to create
a new wireless Ethernet network. You can create either an access point or
peer-to-peer wireless Ethernet network.
Access Point
An access point is a device that allows you to join a wireless network and access
a wired network at the same time. You can create an access point wireless
network if you purchased an RG1000 or equivalent access point. This
illustration shows an example of an access point network.
