Glossary
Wireless Network (Wi-Fi):
Wi-Fi is short for “wireless fidelity” and is used as a term to describe
wireless device networking. Wi-Fi has gained recognition in many
environments as an alternative to a wired Network. Many airports,
hotels, coffee shops, town centers and other services offer public
access to Wi-Fi networks so people can log onto the Internet to
receive emails or surf the World Wide Web on the move. These
locations are known as hotspots. The big advantage of Wi-Fi is its
simplicity. You can connect computers, internet radios, or other devices
wherever you wish in your home or office without using wires. The
Wi-Fi devices then connect to a wireless network via a router or
modem using radio signals.
ESSID (Network Name):
Acronym that stands for Extended Service Set Identifier. It is your
network name. A code is attached to all packets on a wireless network
to identify each packet as part of that network.
WEP:
Wired Equivalency Privacy and it is the most basic security protocol for
Wi-Fi networks.
WPA:
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a stronger data encryption specifica-
tion for 802.11 wireless networks that replaces the weaker WEP.
WPA2:
A stronger encryption specification for wireless networks.
