wireless networks of both 802.11b and 802.11g standards and wired networks, allowing them to communicate
with each other.
With your networks all connected, wired, wireless, and the Internet, you can now share files and Internet
access—and even play games. All the while, the Router protects your networks from unauthorized and
unwelcome users.
You should always use the Setup CD-ROM when you first install the Router. If you do not wish to run the Setup
