Make S300W part of a wireless network

At my company all the users are mobile. We just purchased an S300W for a conference room and would like to join it to the network. Is this possible at all? Should we use the lan, or is this possible with the wireless connection. Thanks for any help!

I have the same question. I can connect a notebook wireless to the projector for presentation but the projector has it's own SSID and network configuration. When connected to the projector, the notebook can't connect to the wireless LAN and has no internet access.

I've read the Dell documentation and it is not helpful. It seems that the projector can serve as a DHCP server for notebooks to connect to it but can the projector connect to our wireless LAN and thereby provide Internet access for the DHCP clients?

When I go Setup and Wireless Setup, the projector doesn't see our WLAN. In any case, our WLAN is secured with WPA-2; how is (or can) the projector be connected to the WLAN?

The meager Dell manual is no help with this question nor can I find an answer in the Dell Knowledge Base.

it would be great if Dell can supply an answer to this question.  I agree the documentation is too basic and I hate having to run a seperate wireless network specifically for the projector.

From what I've found if you have the projector on your LAN you can use it's WIFI as an access point and as a means of connecting to the projector. Of course if it's on the LAN you can also just use the client application to connect to it as well. The biggest problem is it can be too easy to reset the projector and change the settings making the access point insecure. I haven't found a good solution for locking it down.

The ideal set up would be to hardwire the projector to the LAN.

It can then be used as an access point to reach the web and as a wireless projector for presenting wirelessly.
