Why is collision detection more complex in wireless networks than in wired networks such as Ethernet?
because it is . ;)
What is the difference between wireless and wired network?
Wired networks have a wire that connects them to an internet port, wireLESS networks do not.
Are Wireless networks faster than other network types?
No, wireless networks tend to be slower than wired networks but they offer more range and you don't need a whole lot of wires. Wireless routers normally have Ethernet ports so you can have a mix of wired and wireless if you desire. The speed difference between the two is barely noticeable, well that's my opinion.
What is an alternative to the ethernet standard for wired home networks?
wifi
Wireless networks are laid out using the same topologies as wired networks?
False.
Does wireless involve Ethernet?
Ethernet is a wired networking solution. Even thou WiFi resembles a lot of the key distinguishing features of Ethernet, Ethernet is clearly defined as wired by IEEE (Protocol 802.3) while WiFi is defined as wireless (Protocol 802.11).
How do you connect your xbox to the internet with a modem?
Wireless or Wired (ethernet cable).
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.
What Devices is used to connect a computer to a network?
Modem.
Can you use a switch to share an Ethernet line with both a computer and ps3 at the same time?
Yes the switch is called a router and it can be wireless or wired with ethernet cables. I use my wireless router as a wired router because it also includes four ethernet cable connections in the back.
Does wireless networks must meet all the same security requirements of a wired LAN?
It's supposed to, but the problem with wireless networks that you can catch packets even if it was not send for you. Such problem was eliminated for wired networks a while ago, the solution is used in all routers. For wireless networks such solution cannot work in principle.
How do you join 2 computers to share files one on the net by wireless the other not on net?
Wired networks, also commonly known as Ethernet networks, are the easiest and most reliable way to connect your computer to a network. Windows XP automatically configures wired networks, and all you need to do is connect your computer to your network equipment using a network cable.
