Module 4: Building a home network Flashcards
Which type of wireless communication is based on 802.11 standards?
The IEEE 802.11 standards define Wi-Fi wireless LAN specifications.
What wireless router configuration would stop outsiders from using your home network?
Encryption configured on the wireless router can provide secure communications and stop outsiders from using your home network.
What type of device is commonly connected to the Ethernet switch ports on a home wireless router?
Local-area network (LAN) devices are commonly connected to the Ethernet ports of a wireless router in order to communicate on the same local wired network.
Which type of network technology is used for low-speed communication between peripheral devices?
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that uses the 2.4 GHz frequency to connect peripheral devices over a short-range, low-speed connection.
What can be used to allow visitor mobile devices to connect to a wireless network and restrict access of those devices to only the internet?
Many wireless routers support a special guest SSID that allows untrusted devices to be able to access the internet but restricts them from accessing local network resources.
What purpose would a home user have for implementing Wi-Fi?
A Wi-FI network or wireless LAN is used to connect to a wireless router that, in turn, connects to the internet. Wireless devices connect to the Wi-Fi network through the wireless router. To create a wireless network usable by other devices
What is another term for the internet port of a wireless router?
The internet port of a wireless router may also be known or labeled as the WAN port. This port connects the router to the internet through a DSL or Cable modem.
Which type of network cable consists of 4 pairs of twisted wires?
Category 5e cable, which is an unshielded twisted pair cable, consists of 4 pairs of wires which are twisted to reduce electrical interference.
What is the default SSID Broadcast setting on a wireless router?
When a wireless router is being set up, the default setting for the SSID Broadcast is enabled. This means the wireless router will broadcast the SSID to all devices. This can be a security concern and best practice is to disable the broadcast setting.
Which are the characteristics of the network SSID?
The SSID is the name of the network and is case sensitive. It can contain up to 32 characters. Any device connecting to the wireless network must know the SSID.
