Stations

• Any radio that is not used in an access point is typically referred to as a client station.
• Client station radios can be used in laptops, tablets, scanners, smartphones, and many other mobile devices.
• Client stations must contend for the half-duplex RF medium in the same manner that an access point radio contends for the RF medium.
• When client stations have a layer 2 connection with an access point, they are known as associated.
