Title: Wireless accespoint
Post by: okepc on November 13, 2006, 02:03:16 PM

Is it possible to add a usb wireless ethernet adapter that will function as an accesspoint?
So it will at least provide internet?

Smeserver in server and gateway mode with 3 workstations on the wired lan.Would like to have one laptop wireless.

It is easier and more secure to add a wireless router to a switch or directly to your internal network card, as simply putting in a wireless card will not give you the option to enable encryption and stuff like that. You can than configure a second local network so that the stations on your wireless lan can access the local network side of your gateway/server.
