Wireless networking has become very popular in recent years because it eliminates the need to run a LAN cable for each computer is connected. Wireless Ethernet is available in a bewildering number of rules and conditions. However, most of the early teething problems are sorted associated with this type of network have been.
The most important standards for Ethernet wireless 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n. The differences are mainly in the speed and high frequency. L 'One standard was the first time and runs in the 5 GHz spectrum with a maximum speed of 54Mbps. However, this standard has never really popular because of the reach of most receivers soon. Variant B was slower than a system with 11 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band to implement a lot cheaper than the A version was designed and better coverage. It 'been a bit' more popular because of cost savings. If the standard is G, which ran in the same band of B, but offered the same speed as A, at intervals of time. Thisquickly killed most of the standard A, G, and is still the most popular standard.
802.11n is the future standard. Some manufacturers began adding improvements to their standard 802.11g equipment, which could greatly improve the speed, but most of these solutions were proprietary. You must have accelerated brand of wireless devices for all higher for machinery which is committed to transfer the same. That was not really ideal. It has been proposed that incorporate 802.11nall the various improvements that have been made in recent years.
Wireless hardware often has problems on home networks by the environment. Walls tend to seriously impede the signal, in particular those with indoor plumbing because the pipes can disturb. Thus, the majority of families with a single access point radios are shadows in different places depending on the design of the house and closer to the router. Some vendors sell wireless repeaters, theslightly cheaper than a true and full repeater or access point, the problem of covering the mare can solve this by using.
Another problem with a home wireless network is security. There are a number of measures through which only those who have emigrated to the signal field from the outset to avoid the net. One is to enable encryption. Virtually every wireless access point or router supports at least some form of basic encryption. In general, you can set a key orPassword, the machine connects to the network need to know. Another thing is recommended that the hidden SSID. This is the name of your wireless network appear as if the other machines are identified. Most routers you can optionally hide the name, so that there is another thing to know someone needs access to the network. Even when someone searches for the network with special tools, they only know a network exists, but not what they say. This may be an additional level of effortsmall-time hacker is to convince you that it is not worth when someone else is even worse with security in the area.
Nothing is ever completely safe, because there are always bugs in software and hardware. However, many people are able to conquer the standard security measures are not interested in the average home user, but rather the larger enterprise networks. The truly paranoid the possibility of more extreme measures, such as lists of MAC addresses of access, and third-party solutions that improve theNetwork security, but in general, most users will be well hidden with encryption turned on and the network name.
