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.
