 Connect your computer to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup of

wireless computing devices (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-4).

 Connect your computer to a Small Office/Home Office

(SOHO) network that includes a WL310 Gateway (see

Figure 1-3 on page 1-5).

 Connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN)

Infrastructure that includes access points (see Figure 1-4

on page 1-6 and Figure 1-5 on page 1-7).

 Expand the capabilities of your access points, to support

wireless devices that have been equipped with wireless

LAN adapters.

Peer-to-Peer Workgroup

The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to

quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where the

workgroup participants can exchange files using features like

“File and Printer Sharing” as supported by Microsoft

Networking.

About 11 Mbps Wireless LAN 1-3

Figure 1-2 Peer-to-Peer Wireless Workgroup

You can use this option to setup a temporary or ad-hoc

network in environments where no access points are

available (for example in Small Office/Home Office (SOHO)

environments).

As long as the stations are within range of one another, this is

the easiest and least expensive way to set up a wireless

network.

Home Office Networking

With the WL310 Gateway, wireless access to the Internet or

other computers is at your fingertips.
