What is the purpose of an access point?
The function of a wireless access point is to allow wireless devices such as projectors, laptops and PDAs to access a local area network. Wireless access points mainly act as switches to spread connections wirelessly. The difference between an access point and a router is that access points do not assign IP addresses nor do they have firewalls; they only lock out traffic that does not have the wireless key.
Can you connect two wireless laptops without an access point?
Set both machines to ADHOC.
Can you connect wireless modem to a switch which will connect to two routers?
can you connect wireless modem to a switch which will to two routers
What is the function of a wireless bridge?
Wireless bridging is the technique of connecting two wireless access points together. This can be done to extend the range of a wireless network, or to create a wireless bridge between two or more wired networks, perhaps in separate buildings.
How do you connect a wireless access point to a network switch that gets Internet from a cable modem?
There are at least two ways. First, you connect the wireless router directly to the cable modem, and then the switch in the wireless router. You have to connect the cable coming from the modem in the wireless router internet port. Second, you connect the wireless router to the switch, again the cable coming from the switch you have to connect on the wireless router internet port. It's better to put the wireless router just after the modem, but it's not required.
What is the difference between a thin access point and a fat access point?
Wireless LAN Switches: The Best Solution There are two types of wireless access points Intelligent (Fat) and Thin wireless Access points. A fat wireless access point has everything it needs to handle wireless clients. A Thin wireless access point is basically a radio and antenna that is controlled by a wireless switch. If you deploy several Fat wireless access points they need to be configured individually. With thin wireless access points the entire configuration takes place at the switch saving you time and money. Wireless LAN Switches provide many benefits: Wireless Mobility - Intelligent access aren't managed in a central location which means there is no third party monitoring the movement of a user. If a user moves to another work area traditional wireless access points have a hard time passing off the user to the new access point. Thin wireless access points are controlled be the wireless LAN switch who will manage the users movement. Security- Using the wireless LAN switch the administrator can check logs, configure is security settings, make group polices for wireless users all in one spot. Also built in to many wireless LAN switches are RADIUS servers which will give another layer of security on top of your encryption policies. In enterprise wireless networks the administrators biggest fear is rogue wireless access points. Wireless LAN switches can detect when a new wireless access point comes into the area and decide if it is a trusted or non-trusted device. Placement - Power over Ethernet is another great feature of wireless LAN Switches. Power over Ethernet eliminates the need for an power outlet to be near the wireless access point. This saves your company money by not having to install new power outlets. Also this improves security by not having the wireless access points within easy reach of passerby's. If you are deploying a wireless LAN for a company I would be scared if you don't utilize wireless LAN switches and wireless thin access points. The upfront costs of these products are more but your total cost of ownership will be less than having to administer each wireless access point separately. To sum it up home owners should stick with Fat access points and businesses should use thin.
Can you connect a wireless access point to a two-desktop wired network by cable and access a wireless laptop without connecting via the Ethernet port?
No, why would you? I suggest just buying a wireless PCI card for the two desktops. It would make life much more easier. You can, what you need is a wireless router... this will allow you to have approximatly 4 ethernet ports and wireless access to your network, but look in your manual to make sure you encrypt the data so as to protect from wireless predators...
How can you connect two different networks without using routers?
Either through the use of switch, hub, or an access point for wireless communications.
How do you connect the two computers without hub?
wireless
What are different types of wireless ethernet bridges?
Wireless ethernet bridges connect two devices that are on the same network. There needs to be the access point and the client for it to work but it can be more convenient than actually using cabling.
Is it necessary that a wireless internet has to have a router and a modem?
This question can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no" but that wouldn't do it justice. For all intents and purposes, yes, you need a Wireless router for a home wireless network. In industry, however, there are many solutions that do not involve an actual router, but instead a wireless bridge. In residential environments, a wireless router is actually a whole slew of network devices wrapped into a single plastic box. These devices include a wireless access point (which is essentially a specialized RF radio), a switch which handles internal traffic, and a router which deals with traffic from the internet going to your internal network and vice versa. In industry, the access points that you may see are simply that: the wireless access points. They are specialized to just broadcast a very strong signal. There are many other solutions to wifi, but the most common approach is a simple access point.
What is the security key to connect to the access point?
I am assuming you are referring to a wireless access point (WAP), if this is wrong, please restate your question with more clarification. A wireless access point usually connects a wireless device to a wired network. In some instances it establishes connections between two wireless devices, but this is a much less common way to use an access point. Either way, it is usually in the form of a WiFi (802.11 protocol) router or bridge or Bluetooth device. While few Bluetooth devices has any kind of security key, most wireless routers can be configured to require a password or passphrase to connect to it. The router may ship with a default password, but the person setting it up can log onto it and set a new password. Some wireless routers also connect to an authentication server which provides additional authentication, a user can connect to the access point, but until they have authenticated via the connected authentication server, they cannot access the network the wireless router is connected to.
