When a network uses the 802.11 standard, it is said to be a _____________. WI-fi or wireless
Establishing a unique__________ or network name helps ensure that only wireless network devices configured similarly are permitted access to network. SSID(Service set identifier)
Of the several wireless encryption protocols, _______ is the least secure. WEP(Wired equivalent privacy)
Of the two different spread-spectrum broadcasting methods, ____________ sends data out on different frequencies at the same time and, therefore, uses considerably more bandwidth. DSSS(Direct-sequence spread spectrum)
WPA uses________ to encrypt data whereas WPA2 uses the more secure ___________. 1. Temporal key integrity protocol(Tkip) 2. Advanced encryption standard(AES).
______________ allows devices on 802.11n networks to make multiple simultaneous connections, allowing for a theoretical throughput of 600 Mbps. Multiple in/multiple out(MIMO)
802.11 implements ____________, which proactively avoids network packet collisions rather than simply detecting them when they occur. CSMA/CA

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
