Introduction to 802.11b Wireless The IEEE 802.11b standard is the most widely used standard for wireless LANs today. A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a cellular computer network that transmits data using radio signals instead of cables. WLAN technology is commonly used on home, small office and large corporate networks. WLAN devices have a high degree of mobility and flexibility that allow networks to be quickly set up or dismantled and allow them to roam freely throughout the network. Wireless

in its broadcast range. WLAN nodes transmit digital data using FM (frequency modulation) radio signals. WLAN devices generate a carrier wave and modulate this signal using various techniques. In this way, digital data can then be superimposed onto the carrier signal. This radio signal carries data to WLAN devices within range of the transmitting device. The antennae of WLAN devices listen for and receive the signal. The signal is demodulated and the transmitted data extracted. The transmis

2 Hardware Installation The DSL-G604T functions on three separate networks: a wired Ethernet LAN, a wireless LAN and a wired ADSL WAN. Placement of the Router must take into account the fact that it is connected to these three networks with three types of media. Ethernet cables connect the Router to computers and network devices and the ADSL line connects it to a wall socket. In addition, the device must be near an AC wall outlet for power. How to accommodate these wired connections is o
