Wireless devices and modules

Packet Tracer provides wireless modules for PCs/laptops and for routers to enable wireless connectivity. Following are the wireless modules:

Linksys-WMP300N: This is available for servers, PCs, and laptops. It provides one 2.4 GHz wireless interface with protocols supporting Ethernet. Once plugged in, this module is configurable through the PC Wireless utility available in the Desktop tab.
PC-HOST-NM-1W: This is a basic wireless interface that provides one 2.4 GHz wireless interface with support for Ethernet. This module isn't configurable.
PC-HOST-NM-1W-A: This is similar in features to the preceding module, except that it provides a 5 GHz wireless interface.
HWIC-AP-AG-B: This is a router module that works with 1841 and 2811 routers. It functions as an integrated access point and supports single band 802.11b/g or dual band 802.11a/b/g radios.

Now, we will look into the devices; Packet Tracer has wireless end devices as well as access points.
