I. Requirement Analysis
Small and medium-sized enterprises are the main force of various types of enterprises, and how to achieve office automation and informatization has become a key factor for the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises in recent years. How can I connect the office computers of most small and medium-sized enterprises with dozens or more computers to the Internet?
If a star-type wired network composed of a traditional switch or hub is used, the deployment is difficult although the hardware cost is low. Network-to-desktop deployment is a headache for complex network cabling and station layout.
Wireless networks are the best expansion of wired networks. Wireless routers can flexibly form a wired and wireless hybrid network.
If the emerging wireless networking technology can be used, only a small amount of wiring is required. A single or several wireless routers or APs are arranged based on the structure of each office building or the location of the computer, the desktop PC and the Ethernet service of mobile users can ensure that all users in the factory area, office buildings, or individual office rooms can use wireless and wired surfing. It not only allows you to adjust the network structure and increase the number of workstations at will, but also meets the mobile network office requirements of some small and medium-sized enterprise users to a certain extent and improves office efficiency.
Moreover, the emergence of devices such as wireless routers not only opens the door for domestic wireless Internet access, but also provides a way to understand the office wireless network of small and medium-sized enterprises. The use of wireless routers can take into account the advantages of the traditional wired star network and wireless network. The low cost of wiring and the low cost of network maintenance are incomparable to the wired network, it is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited financial resources and no professional network maintenance technicians.
In addition, through the use of wireless routers, it not only allows enterprises and office computers to share the Internet, provides a 10/100 M Adaptive Ethernet (WAN) interface, it can be connected to multiple broadband or network access modes, such as ADSL/Cable MODEM or Ethernet switch/router. The built-in four vswitch ports allow you to connect to four or more computers in a wired manner. Without large-scale transformation, adding wireless devices to the original wired LAN for wireless network upgrades can meet the needs of new terminals and wireless office work.
