Wireless Basics

Wireless users can use the same applications they use on a wired network.

Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same

protocols as Ethernet adapter cards.

Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a

device used to provide this link.
