Wireless Components

Wireless components enable mobile devices such as smartphones, laptops, and even Internet of Things (IoT) devices to connect and share resources on a wired network and with other wireless devices.

The following are some common wireless components:

Wireless NIC
Wireless home router
Wireless access point
Wireless antennas

Over the following sub-sections, you will learn about the role and function of each wireless component.

Wireless NIC

A wireless NIC enables a client device such as a laptop or a smart device to communicate over a wireless network. Wireless NICs are integrated into the motherboard of IoT devices and smartphones. However, laptops contain a wireless network adapter that is attached to the motherboard and connects to the antennas. For desktop computers, using a USB wireless adapter enables the device to communicate on a wireless network.
