This section describes some of the concepts related to the Wireless screens.
5.1.1 Wireless Networking Basics
Your CGN3’s wireless network is part of the Local Area Network (LAN), known as the
Wireless LAN (WLAN). The WLAN is a network of radio links between the CGN3 and
the other computers and devices that connect to it.
5.1.2 Architecture
The wireless network consists of two types of device: access points (APs) and
clients.
The access point controls the network, providing a wireless connection to each
client.
