How to expand your home network
What is a network?
A network is any group of devices that can communicate with each other. A
typical home network may include multiple computers, a printer, a modem (for
Internet access), and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,
additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices
such as TVs, game consoles, and web cameras.
How to expand your home network
Your WAP300N provides several ways to increase your home network’s
capabilities and wireless range. You can use it as any of the following:
• Access Point mode (default)
• Wireless Media Connector mode
• Wireless Range Extender mode
• Wireless Bridge mode
Refer to the following pages for more detailed explanations and example
diagrams.
