Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

WNICs (Wireless Network Interface Controllers) operate according to the IEEE 802.11 protocol. This protocol specifies the standards for wireless LANs (Local Area Networks), which are the networks that WNICs connect to wirelessly. Option A is incorrect because IEEE 802.3 is the protocol for Ethernet LANs, which use wired connections. Option B is incorrect because WNICs do not connect directly to switches, they connect wirelessly to access points (APs), which in turn may be connected to switches. Option C is incorrect because WNICs do not typically connect to LANs through optical fiber cables, they use wireless connections.
