About Access Point (AP)
An Access Point (AP) is a network device that bridges wired 
and wireless LANs and corresponds to a wireless hub in a wired 
network. Multiple devices can be connected to an AP.
•	When connected to a 100 Mbps/1 Gbps wired LAN, a 
message appears informing the user of connection to 
a 10 Mbps/100 Mbps wired LAN when the computer 
wakes from sleep mode. This happens because 
restoring the network takes about 3 seconds. When the 
network is restored, the computer will be connected to 
the 100 Mbps/1 Gbps LAN.
•	When the system is running on battery power, it may 
take a few seconds for the connection to be established 
when connecting a LAN cable. This is the result of 
power saving features designed to reduce battery 
consumption.
•	When the system is running on battery power, the 
speed of a wired LAN is decreased automatically 
to reduce battery consumption. In this case, a 
1 Gbps/100 Mbps LAN would function at the speed of a 
100 Mbps/10 Mbps connection.
