All networks need a base station. And the type of network you choose — wireless, wired or a combination of both — determines which type of base station you need.

• A wireless access point - enables everyone in the home or small office to effortlessly connect to the network without running wires.

• An Ethernet router - the basis of a wired network, a router lets everyone enjoy the speed of a wired connection.

• A combination wireless access point/Ethernet router - allows different users to take advantage of both technologies at the same time.

For sharing high speed Internet access, you'll also need a cable or DSL broadband modem. Connect your base station to the broadband modem and then you are ready to connect your computers (and peripherals) to the base station.

• If it's a wired network, you'll connect everything with Ethernet cables. Please make sure that the devices you want to network are Ethernet-equipped with an appropriate Ethernet adapter.
• If it's a wireless network, you'll need to add one wireless accessory to each computer.
