Wireless standards
There are a number of standards that have been developed to ensure that the wireless devices so they can communicate. They specify the RF spectrum that is used in data organization’s which is responsible for the creation of wireless technical standards is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The IEEE 802.11 standard governs the WLAN environment and there are amendments to the IEEE 802.11 standards of wireless communications. The wireless standards for LANs use the 2.4 GHz and z GHz frequency bands which collectively these technologies are referred to as the WI-FI. There is another organization known as the WI-FI Alliance that is responsible for testing wireless LAN devices from different manufacturers. The WI-FI logo on a device means that the equipment meets standards and should be operated with other devices used by the same standards. The wireless standards are constantly improving the connectivity and speed of the WI-FI networks and it is important to be aware of new standards because they get introduced to manufactures on wireless devices that will implement these standards quickly in their new products.
Wireless Settifngs
Network mode is used to determine the type of technology that must be supported.
Network name (SSID) is used to identify the WLAN of all devices that wish to participate in the WLAN must have the same SSID.
Standard Channel is used to specify the channel over which communication will occur. The default settings are set to Auto so it can allow you to access the Access Point which helps determine the optimum channel to use.
SSID Broadcast is used to help determine if the SSID will be broadcast to all of the devices within a certain range but the default setting is set to enabled. The SSID stands for Service Set Identifier.
