Devices on a wireless network include:

A

wireless NIC for sending and receiving signals.

A

wireless access point (AP) is the equivalent of an Ethernet hub. The

wireless NICs connect to the AP, and the AP manages network communication.

A

wireless bridge connects two wireless APs into a single network or

connects your wireless AP to a wired network. Most APs today include

bridging features.

Many wireless access points include ports (or

hubs, switches, or routers) to connect the wireless network to the wired

portion of the network.
