A wireless local area network (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of wires.
Wireless LANs are used increasingly in both home and office environments, and public areas such as airports, coffee shops and
universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are helping people to work and communicate more efficiently. Increased
mobility and, the absence of cabling and other fixed infrastructures have proven to be beneficial for many users.
Under many circumstances, it may be desirable for mobile network devices to link to a conventional Ethernet LAN in order to use
servers, printers or an Internet connection supplied through the wired LAN. A Wireless Router is a device used to provide this link.
