=== Stations ===
All components that can connect into a wireless medium in a [[Computer networking|network]] are referred to as stations. All stations are equipped with [[wireless network interface controller]]s. Wireless stations fall into two categories: [[wireless access point]]s (WAPs) and clients. WAPs are base stations for the wireless network. They transmit and receive radio frequencies for wireless-enabled devices to communicate with. Wireless clients can be mobile devices such as laptops, [[personal digital assistant]]s, [[VoIP phone]]s and other [[smartphone]]s, or non-portable devices such as [[desktop computer]]s, printers, and [[workstation]]s that are equipped with a wireless network interface.
