How do multiple access points identify themselves as part of the same network
It can function as a Bridge, Relay, and Access Point. In Bridge mode it connects multiple access points to a single fixed line. In relay mode it connects multiple access points to a remote access point. And as a traditional access point it provides network access to wireless clients.
Network Access Points
A site survey is the network design process that identifies where to place access points.
A rogue access point is a wireless access point that is not authorized or controlled by the administrators of the network that it is connected to. Depending on the intended usage, it may or may not use the same SSID as the legitimate access points on the network. Rogue access points are considered a security risk, either because they can allow unauthorized access to the network, or because they may be connected through a sniffer in order to capture network traffic passing through them. Any access point can be considered a rouge access point if connected to the network in an unauthorized manner.
An ad-hoc network does not require an access point. Typically, if an access point is involved then it is not strictly an ad-hoc network, but would be an infrastructure network.
The Router.
Wireless access points are created by installing wireless routers. These routers are providing the opportunity for other devices to get wireless access to a network and or internet.
Yes, you can have 2 or more access points for the same network. Access points can be placed at a distance where other access points limits over. But 2 access points overlaps some of the network area of each other, because of which a user can move freely in the entire network range from one access points coverage area to other access point's area without losing connectivity. Also the user gets good connection speed too as it will be boosted by the access point in whose range the user is. Thus accesspoints increases the wireless area. -- By MyNarutoAnime ----
That is the SSID, the Service Set Identifier. It is better understood as the name of the wireless network.
A technique in which two or more vanishing points are used to create the illusion of depth on a flat surface..
An access point is a general technology term that is used to define a physical device that provides access to a network, most often the Internet. An access point can be a DSL line, a wireless hotspot, or even another computer when placed into ad hoc network mode. Access points are important when assessing computer network security. The term is also frequently used when referring to the protocol that is used to connect to the Internet since different access points can use different protocols.
