What hardware components make up a WLAN network?
WLAN networks need, at a minimum, one 802.11 adapters in client devices such as laptops. And a wireless router connected to a cable modem or DSL line. Most WLANs have an access point, which connects wireless users to the wired LAN. Routers, hubs, and switches are also used to connect access points to the wired LAN—some manufacturers build these capabilities into the same package.
