Terms And Tips For Wireless Security


Do not use a wireless connected computer without firewall and virus scanner. Whenever possible use HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP.


Wireless Networking or Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) are based on the IEEE 802.11X standards. X stands for b, a or g. These standards define how to wirelessly connect computers or devices to a network. Wireless enabled devices send and receive data indoors and out, anywhere within the range of a wireless access point (WAP or AP). A WAP is a device that connects wireless communication devices together to form a wireless network. It usually connects to a wired network, and can relay data between wireless devices and wired devices. Several WAP s can link together to form a larger network for roaming.
See IEEE 802.11X Standards.
