Among all the wireless network solutions described above, the most widely used, simple to construct, and most convenient to manage is the networking mode of the wireless router + wireless network card. Therefore, a detailed understanding of the configuration and use of this type of networking mode is a key point to step into the wireless Hall. Let's take a look at the detailed knowledge of this type of mode in installation and debugging.
I. Network Environment
It integrates wired routing and wireless access functions. Like a wired router, it also provides four LAN ports. Therefore, the network using a wireless router has the greatest adaptability. You can use a network cable for Wired connection or use a wireless network card to connect to other wireless terminals. Generally, a wireless router and several wireless network adapters can be used to build a complete wireless network environment. The entire wireless network environment can be described as ADSL Modem + wireless router + wireless network adapter.
Ii. Hardware connection
Connect the ADSL line to the ADSL Modem, and connect the WAN port of the wired router to the WAN port of the ADSL Modem, as shown in. If there is a wired router in the original network, any LAN port of the wireless router can be connected to any LAN of the wired router.
Wireless Router connection
Tip: if you do not use the routing function, the RJ45 line of the ADSL adapter cannot connect to the WAN port, you should connect to the lanport, otherwise it will always be offline.
Through such a connection, the remaining LAN ports of the wired router can connect to the fixed desktop, while the wireless router can be used as a pure AP for the mobile shared Internet access of the laptop. After that, make sure that the power supply of the ADSL adapter and wireless router is fully enabled, the power indicator light, and the indicator light at the connection port are green ).
Next, we will install a wireless network card for other computers. This has been introduced to readers in the previous article "installation and debugging of point-to-point wireless networks", which will not be detailed here. After the hardware connection is complete, configure the specific device.
