Expanding a Home Network

What is a network?

A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A

home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet

access, which requires a router.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a

printer, a modem, 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 Internet cameras.

• Modem: Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet Service

Provider).

• Router: Connects multiple devices to the Internet.

• Switch: Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your router

has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired network

devices than available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an additional

switch to add more wired connections.

How to expand a home network

The access point provides multiple modes to extend your current network.

The access point offers the following modes:

• Access Point (Default)

• WDS (also known as wireless bridge)

• Client (also known as wireless client adapter mode)
