The correct progression from a device to the internet in a wireless network is:
**NIC, access point, router, modem.**
Here's a brief explanation of each component in that progression:
1. **NIC (Network Interface Card)**: This is the hardware that connects a device (like a computer, smartphone, etc.) to a network, allowing it to communicate over the network.
2. **Access Point (AP)**: This device allows wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi. It acts as a bridge between the wireless devices and the wired network.
3. **Router**: A router manages traffic between different networks, directing data from the access point to the appropriate destination and vice versa. It can also provide additional features like NAT (Network Address Translation) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
4. **Modem**: This device connects to the internet through your internet service provider (ISP) and translates the data from the ISP into a format that can be understood by the router. It essentially brings the internet connection into your local network.
Therefore, the correct sequence is **NIC, access point, router, modem**.
**NIC, access point, router, modem.**
