How to Turn a DSL Modem Into a WAP
A "WAP" is a wireless access point. Even if your computer is connected to your DSL modem via an Ethernet cable, as long as your computer has a wireless adapter installed in it, you can still turn the modem into a wireless access point using the Windows Network and Sharing Center. This is done by creating an ad-hoc network, which is a type of computer-to-computer wireless network.
