  • Page 9: Wireless Performance Considerations

    Wireless Performance Considerations There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. 1. Adjust your wireless devices so that the signal is traveling in a straight path, rather than at an angle. The more material the signal has to pass through the more signal you will lose. 2.

    About Wireless LANs Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Sta- tions (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other. Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g.

  • Page 100: Wep

    • If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted.

  • Page 101: Wpa-802.1X

    The same encryption method must be used. The most Encryption common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely- supported method is AES.
