What's another name for Wi-Fi?

• THX 1138
• 801.12 networking
• 801.22 networking
• 802.11 networking 

EXPLANATION

 802.11 Standards Explained: 802.11ac, 802.11b/g/n, 802.11a
Home and business owners looking to buy networking gear face an array of choices. Many products conform to the 802.11a, 802.11b/g/n, and/or 802.11ac wireless standards collectively known as Wi-Fi technologies. Bluetooth and various other wireless (but not Wi-Fi) technologies also permeate the market, each designed for specific networking applications.

For quick reference, 801.11aj is the most recently approved standard. The protocol was approved in May 2018. Just because a standard is approved, however, does not mean it is available to you or that it is the standard you need for your particular situation. Standards are always being updated, much like the way software is updated in a smartphone or on your computer.

Which of the following refers to wireless devices involved in connecting devices in close proximity to exchange data or resources?

Which of the following refers to wireless devices involved in connecting devices in close proximity to exchange data or resources?

• CAN
• MPLAN
• WPAN
• WAN 

EXPLANATION

A wireless personal area network (WPAN) is a type of personal network that uses wireless communication technologies to communicate and transfer data between the user's connected devices.

 A wireless network defined by personal operating space (POS), which simply is the area in the near vicinity of a device or individual. 802.15 is the IEEE specification for WPANs and 802.15.1 is the specification for Bluetooth.

Which type of RAID implements disk striping with distributed parity?

Which type of RAID implements disk striping with distributed parity?

• RAID 5
• RAID 0
• RAID 1
• RAID 10 

 

EXPLANATION

  Following are the key points to remember for RAID level 5.

• Minimum 3 disks.
• Good performance ( as blocks are striped ).
• Good redundancy ( distributed parity ).
• Best cost effective option providing both performance and redundancy. Use this for DB that is heavily read oriented. Write operations will be slow.

Why would you change the default channel on a wireless access point?

Why would you change the default channel on a wireless access point?

• To release the SSID
• To decrease WEP security settings
• If channel overlap occurs between access points [Please report iif the answer is incorrect]
• To increase WEP security settings

EXPLANATION

 

One reason your wireless network may have poor Wi-Fi signal is because of interference caused by other devices. Since most wireless home networks transmit their signals in a narrow radio frequency range around 2.4 GHz, it's common for devices on the same frequency to affect the wireless signal.

Other electronics in a home, like cordless phones, garage door openers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens, may also use this same frequency range. Any such device can easily interfere with a wireless home network, slowing down its performance and potentially breaking network connections.

Any such device can easily interfere with a wireless home network, slowing down its performance and potentially breaking network connections. Likewise, the wireless networks of neighbors generally all use the same form of radio signaling. Especially in residences that share walls with each other, interference between different home networks is not uncommon. Fortunately, most routers give you the option to change the wireless channel so they can communicate on a different frequency to avoid interference.
