8.10.1 WiFi Network Overview
WiFi networks consist of WiFi clients, access points and bridges.
• A WiFi client is a radio connected to a user’s computer.
• An access point is a radio with a wired connection to a network, which can connect with numerous
WiFi clients and let them access the network.
• A bridge is a radio that relays communications between access points and WiFi clients, extending a
network’s range.
Normally, a WiFi network operates in an “infrastructure” type of network. An “infrastructure” type of
network has one or more access points and one or more WiFi clients. The WiFi clients connect to the
access points.
The following figure provides an example of a WiFi network.
