A wireless LAN or WLAN is a wireless local area network‚ which is the linking of two or more computers without using wires. It is the same as LAN‚ but has a wireless interface. WLAN utilizes spread-spectrum technology based on radio waves to enable communication between devices in a limited area‚ also known as the basic service set. This gives users the mobility to move around within a broad coverage area and still be connected to the network. Wireless Local Area networks (WLANs) have been employed

ABSTRACT This study entitled “Design of Indoor Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Using 802.11g Home Routers for the 3rd Floor of SLSU-MHDP Building” aimed to prepare a coverage and capacity-based wireless local area network (WLAN) that meets both the radio signal coverage requirement and the data rate capacity required to serve expected user traffic demand in a single-floor service area particularly at the 3rd floor of the College of Engineering building. This study used the oriented-basic

A wireless LAN or WLAN is a wireless local area network‚ which is the linking of two or more computers or devices without using wires. WLAN uses spread-spectrum or OFDM modulation technology based on radio waves to enable communication between devices in a limited area‚ also known as the basic service set. This gives users the mobility to move around within a broad coverage area and still be connected to the network. For the home user‚ wireless has become popular due to ease of installation‚ and

-Anam Will Wi-Fi Replace Wired LANs? In life today‚ networking has become a large part of our lives. It is the fastest way to transport data‚ and it is accessible wherever you are in the world. These connections are called LANs. LAN (local area network) is a group of computers and other electronic devices that are connected via a communications line. The LAN’s I will talk about are wired and wireless LANS. Before wireless networking‚ everything was connected with wires. However‚ today

WLAN Checkpoint student name IT/242 November 7‚ 2013 instructor WLAN Checkpoint For a business setting up a WLAN security is very important and should be top priority. If you do not secure your WLAN you are opening your business up to hackers that can ruin your business. Before you set up the WLAN a site survey should be done. This will determine what level of exposure your company is at and help decide how much security is needed. Of the many ways to protect your WLAN you should start

Wireless cards. Wireless cards are very different based upon what chipset you have. I personally use Atheros chipset cards which has screwed me up a bit with BackTrack as it has problems with using them for certain attacks. What I will again show is generic commands for setting up and configuring your wireless interfaces. The interface name (ath0 below) is entirely dependant on what chipset you are using‚ you may have any of the following: ath0 wlan0 wifi0 eth0 You need to find

WLAN CheckPoint Matthew Henderson IT-242 July 6‚ 2012 Jessica Partin-Sawyers WLAN CheckPoint There are several ways a person can go about securing a wireless local area network‚ or WLAN. One of the best ways in my opinion is to not broadcast the network publicly. This does not prevent people from accessing the network‚ but instead prevents the network from being visible to others. A person searching for a network to connect to can easily see your network exists. Without broadcasting the

• How would you use WLAN technology to provide indoor/outdoor campus-wide coverage and ensure that your solution supports voice‚ data‚ and video/collaboration? Due to the need of better technology (WLAN)‚ it would be best to complete an RF Site Survey to see what is feasible and how many access points will be necessary. Once the survey is completed‚ discussions with the CIO‚ IT manager‚ and listening to student/staff complaints should be next. The request of a better connected network is essential
