How does wireless networking work?
Wireless networking works very similar to a cordless telephone, where the phone base broadcasts a signal to the handset and then sends the handset’s responses through the telephone cord plugged into a wall jack. In wireless networking, a device called an Access Point (AP), which is hard wired to a computer network itself, broadcasts a signal to the surrounding area. Any device that is equipped with a wireless networking card can receive that signal and communicate with the AP, and through it, with the rest of the network.
