The Technicolor Gateway Wireless Access Point
Introduction
This section will help you set up your wireless network.

To set up a wireless network, you need the following components:
A
Wireless Access Point
(already integrated into your Technicolor Gateway)
A
Wireless client
the device that you want to connect (for example, a computer, smartphone, network printer,...)
Wireless Access Point
The wireless access point is the heart of your wireless network. The wireless access point:
Connects different wireless devices.
Secures the data sent over wireless connection.
The Technicolor Gateway comes with an integrated wireless access point.
Wireless client
The wireless client allows you to connect a device, typically a computer, to a wireless access point. Both built-in and external

You can easily prevent this by securing your wireless access point. For more information, see
“5.3 Securing Your Wireless
Connection” on page 43
