A wireless access point can function as an access point and it can also be used as a repeater....

In IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, the Medium Access Control (MAC) sublayer consists of two main components: the MAC Control sublayer and the MAC Data sublayer. The MAC Control sublayer is responsible for managing access to the shared wireless medium and handling frame control, while the MAC Data sublayer is tasked with the encapsulation and transmission of data frames. Together, these components ensure efficient communication and coordination among devices in a wireless network.
The networking functions of a computer allow it to access these shared resources.
It uses a 128-bit pre-shared hexadecimal key to prevent unauthorized wireless access.
1.All frames are transmitted on all Ethernet segments 2. shared medium networks use CSMA/CD to access the medium
Access the shared reports function, then select Deferred Status from the Utilities menu.
Contention-based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols are networking protocols that allow multiple devices to compete for access to a shared communication medium. In these protocols, devices transmit data whenever the medium is idle, leading to potential collisions if multiple devices transmit simultaneously. Common examples include Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) and its variations, such as CSMA/CD (Collision Detection) and CSMA/CA (Collision Avoidance). These protocols are widely used in wireless and wired networks to manage how devices communicate and share bandwidth efficiently.

An example of a shared medium network device would be a repeater or hub, since the ports are shared.
Shared key
If you your computer is connected to one of wireless networks which shared with other people (including the case when the network is connected to internet), your computer can accessed without any problems unless special precautions were taken.
Access the shared reports function, then select Deferred Status from the Utilities menu.
