Netgear WG103 PROSAFE 802.11G Wireless Access Point

Prior to wireless networks, setting up a Computer network in a business, home, or school often required running many cables through walls and ceilings in order to deliver network access to all of the network-enabled devices in the building. With the advent of the Wireless Access Point (WAP), network users are now able to add devices that access the network with few or no cables. Today's WAPs are built to support a standard for sending and receiving Data using radio frequencies rather than cabling. Those standards, and the frequencies they use are defined by the IEEE with 802.11 parameters.
