What does it mean for a wireless networking device to be Wi-Fi compliant?

By definition, a wireless networking device is Wi-Fi compliant. Wi-Fi is simply another name for wireless networking. There are different wireless networking standards that mostly determine the speed at which data can be transferred, but it sounds to me as though this statement of being compliant is just a fancy way to say that it is indeed a wireless device.UPDATE: I have since learned, that WiFi compliant has to do with a consortium of several manufacturers, and that they have trademarked the name WiFi and work together to make sure that their products are interoperable.


What is the difference between WAP and WLAN?

WAP is an abbreviation for Wireless Access Point, provided by an Integrated Services Router (ISR). Laptop computers and other various devices with wireless capabilities may be able to connect to the internet on this wireless connection. WLAN is an abbreviation for Wireless Local Area Network. Multiple wireless hosts are able to easily connect with one another when they are all on the same WLAN.


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.
