Wireless Network Interface Card (WNIC), 3. Wireless Antennas • Wireless Access Points In the wireless networks, you’ll find a central component such as a switch that’s there to connect hosts together and allow them to communicate with each other. Only that device is known as a wireless access point (AP) instead. • Wireless Network Interface Card (WNIC) Every host you want to connect to a wireless network needs a wireless network interface card (WNIC) to do so. Basically, a wireless NIC does the same job as a traditional Ethernet NIC, only instead of having a socket/port to plug a cable into; the wireless NIC has a radio ant
