What is an AP or WAP?
A Wireless Access Point – this is the base station that receives the radio signals from and sends them to your Axim’s CF card. In a normal home networking situation (Figure 1), the AP will be connected via an Ethernet patch cable to a router (Figure 2), which in turn is connected to your cable or DSL modem. In addition to connecting to your WiFi equipped Axim, you can connect other equipment, such as a laptop or WiFi equipped printer through the AP.
