ABSTRACT
A radio card and the access point can be set up to work
together in a matter of minutes. The architecture of a
wireless LAN is very similar to a traditional Ethernet
network. A typical Ethernet network can be thought of as
a “hub and spoke.” Computing devices are wired to an
Ethernet hub, or to a switch that passively or actively
forwards network traffic. Wireless LANs function in
exactly the same way, except there are no wires to the
hub. Instead, network traffic is transmitted in modulated
radio frequency.
