The needed devices are wireless access point (WAP), a wireless router.
You need computers with wireless networking adapters. And you need a "wired" connection to the internet for the router to plug into.
Most people are able to install it themselves but your ISP will install it if you are more comfortable with that.
An ad-hoc network is a wireless network in which all connections are wireless. The only devices required are wireless network interface cards in all of the devices that want to participate in the network.
Wireless router
A standard wireless router can only physically connect to four Ethernet enabled devices through the Ethernet ports. To extend a wireless home network, a bridge is needed. A bridge is a device that will connect devices such as gaming consoles and TVs to the existing wireless internet network that is enabled by a router. Additionally, a bridge will also extend the range of a home network, allowing for better reception to other computers and devices that are already connected to the network through wireless adapters.
To create an extended star network, you need several key pieces of equipment: a central switch or hub to connect multiple devices, network cables (typically Ethernet cables) to link the devices to the switch, and network interface cards (NICs) for each device that will connect to the network. Additionally, routers may be used to connect to external networks, such as the internet, and optional wireless access points can provide Wi-Fi connectivity for devices.
Information needed to assure successful configuration of a wireless printer for your wireless network includes your Wi-Fi network name and its password. Other information needed varies by operating system used in the network.
This is assuming that there is no outside access to the Ethernet network such as a Internet connection. If there were then firewalls would be needed to prevent a outside intrusion of the network. In addition to physical access security, a wireless network requires authentication and encryption to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the wireless network or capturing and decoding the data that is being transferred via a wireless network connection. If the wireless network has outside WAN access then you would also need firewalls as with the Ethernet network.

B. Netwerkkaart, Programmatuur & koordlose- of kabelverbinding / Network card, Software & Cabling or wireless connection In order for a computer to communicate, you typically need a network card (Netwerkkaart) to physically connect to a network, software (Programmatuur) to manage and control communication, and either cabling (kabelverbinding) or a wireless connection (koordlose- of kabelverbinding) to establish the actual connection to a network or other computers. This combination of hardware (network card), software, and the connection medium (cabling or wireless) is necessary for effective computer communication.
first u have all the PC with WI-fi devices, create a network in any PC of Ur network, and then connect all other PC with that network.................... use LAN and enjoy... thanx, bye and apna khayal rkhna
If you have wireless devices, computers, HDTV's, Bluray players, X-Box/PS3, etc, then you would need a wireless router to control all the devices. If you don't have a wireless computer or devices then you wouldn't need one. Seeing as how most devices are going wireless to get rid of the ethernet cord being routed all over the place it's nice to have one.
Yes. A modem will connect one computer or device to the internet. A router is needed to split the signal between many devices either wired or wireless.
The most important piece of information needed to connect to a specific wireless network is the network's SSID (Service Set Identifier), which is the name of the network. Additionally, the Wi-Fi password or security key is crucial for authentication. Without these two pieces of information, a device will not be able to access the network.
