How WLAN Works
A WLAN includes different clients that can be either access points or wireless clients depending on the setup. Client stations may be anything from laptops to desktops or entire work stations whereby they are used by the users in the local area network.

The wireless access points aps that are also referred to as the wireless router are the points that receive the signals and transmit the same radio waves. It’s important to note that devices such as cell phones and IP phones can be part of the client network.

Access points ensure that individuals can send data across the wireless networks, either through an infrastructure or ad hoc mode. With ad hoc, units conduct data transmission through a peer to peer system directly.

The access points have been referred to as the communication hub through which the users of the LAN are able to converse to a wired distribution network.

Imperatively the access points have continued to provide the security to the radio waves that are transmitted using the internet.
