What is the difference between wireless and wired network?

Wireless networks are laid out using the same topologies as wired networks?
False.
Will VPNs work on both wired and wireless networks?
Yes it works with both. but you might need to configure your computer to encrypt the file you are sending when using wired networks,
Why is collision detection more complex in wireless networks than in wired networks such as Ethernet?
because it is . ;)
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the following networks Local Area Networks Wide Area Networks and Wireless Networks?
you can communicate over Easy to configure Easy to use Easy to set-up Can be maintained by one person Cheap to run Can be expensive to set-up Attractive targets for hackers Allows networking over large distances The bigger the WAN the more fault tolerant it becomes Very expensive to set-up and maintain Will need a full time team of network engineers or people with equivilent knowledge Usually always a node down somewhere that has to be fixed It's convienent It's not secure as wired Its not as reliable as wired Its not as far reaching as wired It's not as fast as wired It's more expensive than wired Its not as easy to set-up as wired
Are wireless networks laid out using the same topologies as wired networks?
Wireless networks are not laid out using the same topologies as wired networks. They have their own, different layouts. Smaller wireless networks, in which a small number of nodes closely positioned need to exchange data, can be arranged in an ad hoc fashion.

With the bridged networks, the wired computers could access the wireless network.
What are the Advantages and disadvantages of wireless networking?
Some of the advantages of wireless networks are ideal for provisional network setups, much cheaper than wired network and flexible if thereÕs an ad-hoc site. On the other hand, some of its disadvantages are: it has lower speed compared to wired networks, less secure and can easily affect by the surroundings.
Why are wireless ethernet networks more challenging to set up than wired networks?
Mostly because of security issues and EMI.
Why are wireless networks so fast?
Wireless networks aren't as fast as wired networks. Their not as reliable either, or as secure. The only reason people use them is for the convienence of not being restricted by a wire.
