Using the UWF-1
About UWF-1
A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a local area network that
relies on wireless communication.
To achieve a wireless network connection, you will
need the following components:
❑ Access point
Also known as the base station, it links your network-
capable AV receiver (wireless client) with a PC or
network. Access points fall into two categories: the
bridge type that only performs data relay in a local
area network, or the router type that has a built-in
router functionality.
❑ Wireless adapters
Sometimes known as dongles, wireless adapters are
extension devices that provide wireless network
functionality when connected to a PC. There are
several types of adapters, including PC cards and USB
adapters. Connecting the UWF-1 wireless adapter to
the USB port of a network-capable AV receiver lets
you use your AV receiver as a wireless client (wireless
terminal) and connect it to a PC or to the Internet.
