On a single LAN, computers and servers can be connected by cable or wirelessly. Wireless access points (WAP) provide wireless access to a wired network. These WAP devices provide a bridge between computers and networks. A typical WAP could have a theoretical capacity to connect hundreds or even thousands of wireless users to a network, although the practical capacity can be much less.

networking in computer science
Cable servers will almost always be connected to the network
because cable connections remain the fastest. Stationary workstations
(desktops) are also usually wired to the network, although the cost of wireless
interfaces has fallen to the point that it is easier and cheaper to use a
wireless connection when installing workstations in an existing facility with
inadequate wiring.
