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)
