This is a wireless standard for use of radio signals over specified frequencies to transmit data
What is 802.11
100
A circuitboard or card that is installed in a computer so that it can be connected to a network
What is Network Interface Card (NIC)
100
This layer conveys the bit stream through the network at the electrical, optical, or radio level and provides the hardware means of sending and receiving data on a carrier network
What is Physical Layer/Layer 1
100
This standard has a speed of 11 Mbps and a frequency of 2.4ghz
What is 802.11b
100
TCP/IP
What is Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
200
5 things that can affect wireless interference are:
What is electromagnetic interference; building construction; electronic devices in the same frequency range; distance; number of devices connected to the network
200
Standard 8-pin connector used to network computers, routers, printers, and/or game consoles over an Ethernet connection
What is RJ-45
200
This layer handles the addressing and routing of the data (sending it in the right direction to the right destination on outgoing transmissions and receiving incoming transmissions at the packet level).
What is Network Layer/Layer 3
200
This standard has a speed of 54 Mbps and a 5 ghz frequency.
What is 802.11a
200
WPA
What is Wi-Fi Protected Access
300
Method of encrypting the network by using a pre-shared key, which is used to allow clients access to the network and to decrypt receiving data.
What is Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
300
Simple networks where devices communicate with each other unaided (one-on-one basis)
What is Point-to-Point Networks
300
This layer manages packetization of data, then the delivery of the packets, including checking for errors in the data once it arrives
What is Transport Layer/Layer 4
300
This standard has a speed of 600 Mbps and a frequency of 2.4 and 5ghz.
What is 802.11n
300
LAN
What is local area network
400
This security method uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and has a plain text password between 8 and 63 characters long.
What is WiFi Protected Access (WPA)
400
A group of computers and associated devices such as printers and servers that share a common communication line and other resources within a small geographical area
What is Local Area Network (LAN)
400
This layer is usually part of an operating system (OS) and converts incoming and outgoing data from one presentation format to another (for example, from clear text to encrypted text at one end and back to clear text at the other).
What is Presentation Layer/Layer 6
400
This standard has a speed of 54 Mbps and a frequency of 2.4 ghz.
What is 802.11g
400
SSID
What is service set identifier
500
Security for a WPA2 network is dependent upon:
What is the length and complexity of the passphrase
500
This kind of wiring is used for twisted pair cables
What is 22 or 24 AWG 100 ohm copper wiring
500
This is the layer at which communication partners are identified, network capacity is assessed, and that creates a thing to send or opens the thing received.
What is Application Layer/Layer 7
500
This standard has a speed of 1.3 Gbps and a frequency of 5ghz
