Network requirements

As shown in Figure 9, deploy an AP to enable the client to access the internal network resources at any time. The following requirements must be satisfied:

· The AP provides a plain-text wireless service with SSID service.

· 802.11n (2.4 GHz) is adopted to work with the existing 802.11g network and meet the high bandwidth requirement.
