Wireless LAN
Wireless communication occurs over radio waves rather than a wire. Like a cordless
telephone, a WLAN uses radio signals instead of wires to exchange data. A wireless
network eliminates the need for expensive and intrusive wiring to connect computers
throughout the home or office. Mobile users can remain connected to the network even
when carrying their laptop to different locations in the home or office.
Each computer or other device on a WLAN must be Wi-Fi enabled with either a built-in or
external wireless adapter.
Laptops — Use a built-in wireless notebook adapter, a wireless PCMCIA slot adapter, or
a wireless USB adapter.
Desktops — Use a wireless PCI adapter, wireless USB adapter, or compatible product in
the PCI slot or USB port, respectively.
