.
Can the Access Point act as my DHCP Server?
No. The Access Point is nothing more than a wireless
hub, and as such cannot be configured to handle DHCP
capabilities.
Can I run an application from a remote computer over
the wireless network?
This will depend on whether or not the application
is designed to be used over a network. Consult the
application’s documentation to determine if it supports
operation over a network.
Can I play multiplayer games with other users of the
wireless network?
Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players
over a LAN (local area network). Refer to the game’s
documentation for more information.
