How Wireless
works
• The 802.11 networking or the “wifi”
network works by using radio
waves, just like televisions and cell
phones.
• A computer's wireless adapter
translates data into a radio signal
and transmits it using an antenna.
• A wireless router receives the signal
and decodes it. The router sends the
information to the Internet using a
physical, wired Ethernet connection.

:
▫ The radios used for WiFi communication are very
similar to the radios used for walkie-talkies, cell phones
and other devices.
▫ They can transmit and receive radio waves, and they
can convert 1s and 0s into radio waves and convert the
radio waves back into 1s and 0s.
