3-MBPS WIRELESS ETHERNET HUBS, ADAPTERS, AND BRIDGES

Figure 4-21. Basic Wireless Ethernet Cell.

Once the Adapters establish association, you can communicate with all the other wireless stations in the cell and via the Hub’s Ethernet connection, with all the network facilities.

Once the Bridge establishes association, the Hub starts forwarding data packets to the wireless LANs connected to the Wireless Bridge.
