	This tutorial describes how to add Access Point functionality to your LinuxMCE Core/Hybrid. The Core/Hybrid will then act as a WiFi access point permitting wireless devices to connect to the core, the internal network and the Internet. The drivers you choose will depend on your specific hardware. Setting up an Access Point on your core allows you to use wireless orbiters such as the [[WebDT 366]] or [[Nokia N800]]/N900 without installing a separate wireless access point on your network.
