Collection: Wireless (Wi-Fi)

Wireless is a wireless network that often also provides access to the internet, usually based on 802.11 protocols. Multiple devices are needed for this. With a device with a wireless adapter, you connect to a so-called access point, another machine that broadcasts signals. Many commercial access points also contain a router, switch, and/or modem. Hence, it is also called a wireless router or wireless modem. The access point functions as a wireless hub and is often connected to a wired network. That network is often connected to the internet via a modem, sometimes via a modem with router functionality.
