Any time you 'broadcast' (or send) a signal, you have to have a 'receiver' on the other end to convert the signal. If it's a radio broadcast, you need a radio to receive the signal. If you are using a wireless access point, you can ACCESS the system through this device but the computer isn't really sending anything until the receiving device makes a request. Think that's a little different than a radio type send/receive system. You need a second computer on the receive end to make the request thru the wireless access point. Make sense? (In other words, "you can't get there from here!")
