Wireless Networks 2.3 Flashcards
Modulates data over an entire range of frequencies using a series of signals known as chips
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
Allows devices to hop between predetermined frequencies
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)
Uses a slow modulation rate with simultaneous transmissions over 52 different data streams
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
A virtual medium through which wireless networks can send and receive data
Channel
what are the channels to avoid overlapping frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band
1,6, & 11
Allows for the creation of a wider channel by merging neighboring channels into one
Channel Bonding
802.11_ - band 5GHz and Bandwidth 54Mbps
802.11a
802.11_ - band 2.4GHz and Bandwidth 11Mbps
802.11b
802.11_ - band 2.4GHz and Bandwidth 54Mbps
802.11g
802.11_ - band 2.4GHz and 5GHz and Bandwidth 150 Mbps/600Mbps (MIMO)
802.11n (Wi-Fi 4)
802.11_ - band 5 GHz and Bandwidth 3 Gbps
802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5)
802.11_ - band 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz and Bandwidth 9.6 Gbps
802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6)
Uses multiple antennas to send and receive data than it could with a single antenna
Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO)
Allows multiple users to access the wireless network and access point at the same time
Multiple User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO)
Occurs when there are similar frequencies to wireless networks in the area
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
Both the access point and the client use the same encryption key
Pre-shared Key
