Detailed explanation-1: -WLANs provide wireless network communication over short distances using radio or infrared signals instead of traditional network cabling. A WLAN typically extends an existing wired local area network. WLANs are built by attaching a device called the access point (AP) to the edge of the wired network.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology standard used for exchanging data between fixed and mobile devices over short distances.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi utilizes the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands and features fast communication speeds. This, combined with a communication distance of about 100m, make it the preferred method for implementing a wireless network for connecting to the internet in the home.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wireless LAN. A WLAN uses radio technology instead of wires to connect nodes along the network. Wi-Fi is the transmission method used to communicate over a WLAN via wireless access points (APs) that enable connectivity with endpoint devices, using standards set by the IEEE.
