Jan 21, 2016 · This document discusses security considerations for wireless LANs. It outlines common wireless LAN components like access points and antennas. It describes how wireless LANs can be configured in ad hoc networks or connect to wired LANs via an access point.

Dec 19, 2014 · This document provides an introduction to the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard. It outlines the standard's architecture including components like stations, basic service sets, extended service sets, and access points.

Jan 23, 2014 · The document provides an overview of wireless LAN (WLAN) fundamentals, including: - WLANs use radio frequencies or infrared to transmit signals without wires, allowing mobility within a local area. - Common WLAN standards include 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g, which operate in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz licensed-free bands.

A wireless LAN or WLAN is a wireless local area network that uses radio waves as its carrier. The last link with the users is wireless, to give a network connection to all users in a building or campus.

WLAN is a wireless local area network which is the linking of two or more computers or devices without using wires. uses radio waves for communication between devices in a limited area. WLAN is based on the IEEE standard. 4 Why WLAN ?

Jan 6, 2025 · Explore the IEEE 802.11 standards for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), including the various physical layers and data rates. Learn about WLAN topology, access points, and the association and roaming processes. Familiarize yourself with RF channels and the hidden-node problem in wireless LANs.

Mar 27, 2019 · What is a wireless LAN? • Is the linking of two or more computer without using wires • Wireless LAN (WLAN) - provides all the features and benefits of traditional LAN technologies such as Ethernet, but without the limitations of wires or cables. • WLAN, like a LAN, requires a physical medium to transmit signals.

This document discusses Wi-Fi technology, including its history, purposes, common standards (802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g), how a Wi-Fi network works with access points and wireless devices, and typical network topologies (infrastructure, peer-to-peer, point-to-multipoint).

Aug 4, 2014 · WLAN • What is WLAN? • Wireless Local Area Network • Extension of a wired LAN • Uses high frequency radio waves (RF) • Speed: 2 MB/s to 54 Mb/s • Distance:100 feet to 15miles • Physical vs. Wireless LAN • Physical LAN has defined borders • Wireless is difficult to determine where access stops • Both are vulnerable to attacks

Introduction The wireless local area network, abbreviated as (WLAN) technology, is a network set up for making an indoor communication network. WLAN allows the user within its range to share an internet connection in several rooms, without cables.
