How Wifi Works
The way this wireless works is because the computer has a built in transreceiver like wakly-talky. Transistor called wireless adapter. The wireless adapter does a number of jobs. The first, detect whether there is a wireless network around the computer via radio and also tuning in to connect the receiver to detect any incoming signal. After a signal is detected, to connect it through sign and user authentication.
