5.1.2 What You Need to Know
Wireless Basics
“Wireless” is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and
receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking devices exchange information with one
another. A wireless networking device is just like a radio that lets your computer exchange
information with radios attached to other computers. Like walkie-talkies, most wireless networking
devices operate at radio frequency bands that are open to the public and do not require a license to
use. However, wireless networking is different from that of most traditional radio communications in
that there a number of wireless networking standards available with different methods of data
encryption.
Guest WLAN
Guest WLAN allows you to set up a wireless network where users can access to Internet via the
WAH7706 (Z), but not other networks connected to the Z. In the following figure, a guest user can
access the Internet from the guest wireless network A via Z but not the home or company network
N.
Note: The home or company network N and Guest WLAN network are independent
networks.
