WI-FI
1. What are the Wireless Network Types?

o Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANS)

o Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANS)
o Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMANS)
o Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWANS)

2. What types of wireless networks are called 2G ?

The WWANS or Wireless Area Networks that can be maintained over large
areas such as in different cities or between different countries, via multiple
satellite systems or antenna sites.

3. What are the ranges of wi-fi networks?

Personal Area Network 0-10

Local Area Network 0-100

Wide Are Network 0-10000

4. What are the security methods that we use in the wireless networking?
 1) Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
Wired Equivalent Privacy is intended to stop the interference of radio frequency that
is signaled by unauthorized users and this security measure is most suitable for the
small networks. There is not key management protocol and each key is entered
manually into the clients that’s why this is very time consuming administrative task.
The WEP security method is based on the RC4 encryption algorithm. In the WEP all
the client computers and Access points are configured with the same encryption and
decryption keys.
2) Service Set Identifier (SSID)
Service Set Identifier (SSID) acts a simple password by allowing WLAN network to
be split up into different networks and each having a unique identifier. These
identifiers are configured in the multiple access points. To access any of any
networks, a computer is configured in such a way that each is having a corresponding
SSID identifier for that network. If the SSID match between the two computers or
networks then access is granted to each other.
3) Media Access Control filtering (MAC Access Control)
A list of the MAC addresses of the client computers can be inputted into an Access
point and only those computers are granted to give the access to the network. When a
computer makes a request, its MAC address is compared to the list of the MAC
addresses to the Access point and based on this access permission granted to deny.
This is a good security method but it is mainly involved in the small wireless
networks because there is more manual work is involved of entering the MAC
address into the Access point.

5. What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a simple type of the wireless networking that operates in the digital
devices, like mobiles phones, personal computers, PDA, Laptops, digital camera,
MP3 players and other Bluetooth enabled devices to form a small network. In
the Bluetooth technology eight devices can be connected to each other at the
same time. Bluetooth technology falls in the category of personal area
networking because it operates in the range of 30 to 300 feet.

6. What are the types of Wireless Encryption?

WEP, WPA, and WPA2.

7. What are the 5 Best Ways to Secure your Wireless network.

o WEP encryption
 o WPA encryption

o WPA2 encryption

o Hiding your SSID

o Mac- Address filtering

8. What are the common antenna characteristics ?

Frequency

Power

Radiation Pattern

Gain.

9. How you extend the range of your 802.11 system?

Install an external antenna with some good gain and directional or omni-
directional qualities.

10. Where do you use Directional Antennas ?

Directional antennas are used for Point-to-Point or sometimes for Multi-Point

systems depending on the setup. If you are trying to go from one location (say for
instance your router), to another location, this is the type of antenna we recommend.

11. What are the types of Directional antennas?

Backfires,

Yagi,

Panel and

dish type
12. What is Omni-Directional antenna?

This is the common “Base” antenna used for Point-to-Multi-Point or can be an omni-
directional antenna for your car. An Omni-Directional antenna would serve as your main
antenna to distribute the signal to other computers or devices (such as wireless printers,
PDAs, etc) in your workgroup.

13. Point-to-Point
Point-to-Point systems usually involve 2 different wireless points, or building to building
wireless connections. But there are exceptions to every rule. If the access point is across a
long valley and the owner of the system wishes to share the connection with multiple
users on the other side of the valley. This would be a point to Multi-Point system but
using directional antennas.

14.
Point to Point WiFi System
15. Point to Multi-Point
Point to Multi-Point systems is usually for sharing a WLAN (Wireless Local Area
Network) or a high-speed internet connection inside of your home or with neighbors
(oops, we didn't say that). They can also be for WAP (Wireless Access Points) such as
you find at local coffee shops, truck stops, airports, RV parks and the ever expanding list
of WAPs becoming available. Traveling with a notebook computer is extremely fun and
can be a great business tool for the frequent traveler.
