The document provides instructions for configuring a router to function as a wireless access point (WAP). It involves resetting the router to default settings, finding the router's IP address, logging into the router's web interface, setting the wireless network name and password, disabling the DHCP server, and saving the changes. The goal is to allow other devices to connect to the router wirelessly and access the internet.

- 2. ROUTER A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. Data sent through the internet, such as a web page or email, is in the form of data packets. A router is the first line of security from intrusion into a network. Enabling the highest level of security on the router turns on things like the firewall, and is the best way to keep your computer system and information safe from attack. Routers contain software called firmware that should be updated as released by the router manufacturer. Most routers connect to other network devices only via network cables and don't require drivers to operate in Windows or other operating systems. However, routers that connect to a computer via a USB or FireWire typically require drivers to operate properly. Routers often act as the DHCP servers in small networks, issuing unique IP addresses. Most routers are manufactured by companies like Linksys, 3Com, Belkin, D-Link, Motorola, TRENDnet, and Cisco, but there are many others. Routers connect a modem— like a fiber, cable, or DSL modem—to other devices to allow communication between those devices and the internet. Most routers, even wireless routers, usually feature several network ports to connect numerous devices to the internet simultaneously.
