What is the MOST common method of locating unsecured wireless networks?

In most cases the frequencies used by wireless networks are in what frequency band?

The common wireless frequency is 2.4 Ghz. Some wireless networks may use the 5 Ghz frequency range.

Which is NOT a wireless security practice?

The following are very basic, but common, bad Wireless Security practices:Connecting to unknown networks;Leaving your wireless connection unsecured;Using typical passwords (123, Admin, Letmein, etc);Not securing your router/modem password;There are other uncommon bad practices such as IGMP Snooping setting misconfigured, setting high DHCP lease lengths, bridging unsecured connections, among others.

Where are wireless technologies commonly used?

Coffee shops, airports, homes, and they're getting more and more common in businesses that have large networks.

What are common features of Classes of Networks?

Common features of classes of networks include topology, which defines the arrangement of nodes and connections; protocols, which govern communication rules and data transfer; scalability, indicating the network's ability to grow and handle increased load; and reliability, ensuring consistent performance and uptime. Additionally, networks can be categorized by their size (e.g., local area networks vs. wide area networks), purpose (e.g., enterprise vs. public networks), and technology (e.g., wired vs. wireless).

Are wireless laptop computers and their networks more reliable?

Using a wireless service is more and more common these days, however, I am not sure what you mean by "reliable". If you are referring to online security, there are always risks involved when submitting your personal information over any connection.

Do wired networks have faster transmission speeds than wireless networks?

Short answer: Wired networks are typically faster than wireless networks. Taking factors into consideration such as reception and interference, wired networks are almost always faster than wireless networks. It should be noted that in almost all situations, either will be fast enough for your needs: when dealing with the internet, it is your connection to the world (DSL, Cable, Dialup) that provides the chokepoint. A faster local network will not speed up the time that it takes to load web pages or download files from the internet. Wired Networks: 1Gbps networks are faster than any standard wireless networks to date (6/3/2009). However, they aren't all that common outside of a corporate setting, as they are expensive. Most computers today only have 10/100Mbps wired network cards, and almost always run at 100Mbps. They are also considered more reliable and easier to work with from a user standpoint (though running cable everywhere can be a headache), making them perfect for company use or people requiring high bandwidth from their local network such as a LAN party for video games. Wireless Networks: A newer technology called Wireless-N is actually slightly faster than the standard 100Mbps wired connection. Many new computers in the past year or two have come with the hardware needed to connect to a Wireless-N network. They often connect at speeds of around 130Mbps (which is not that much of an improvement over the wired 100Mbps), but are capable of doing 300Mbps if placed into a mode which can be very flaky as well as disruptive to nearby wireless networks. Wireless-G networks, the standard that most people think of when they think "wireless", can only reach 54Mbps. It should be noted that although the Wireless-N connection claims higher speeds, wireless networks do not always perform at their advertised rate. If signal strength is poor, it will actually slow down to improve the success rate of the communications. To understand this concept, imagine speaking to someone who is hard of hearing without being able to raise your voice: you would speak slowly so they could understand. Wired communication doesn't suffer such problems, as wires are less susceptible to interference and CAT-5 cabling, typical on wired networks, is specially designed to defeat interference. If you are trying to decide which network is right for you, each offers benefits. Wired networks supply speed and reliability and avoid many headaches of wireless networks: connection requires that you be able to physically attach to the network, preventing neighbors from stealing your internet and eliminating the passwords necessary for wireless networks. Wireless networks provide convenience, typically to owners of laptop computers, but especially to people who will have guests/friends over who will be bringing a laptop, and eliminate the need for wires running everywhere.

What is the difference between a Wireless G and a Wireless N router?

Wireless N is a much more recent standard. It features higher connection speed, longer range, and it is less vulnerable to signal interference, however it requires a Wireless N compatible network card / external reciever. Wireless G is an older standard, is less expensive, has enough range/speed for most users, and wireless G networks cards are much more common.

What are some common communication networks in households these days?

There are many common communication networks in households these days. Some common communication networks in households these days includes Charter Communications and AT and T.

Where would be the most likely place to obtain an unsecured loan?

It depends on what region you are from and what companies you prefer to use. The common place to get an unsecured loan would probably be at unsecuredloansource.com/

What two encryption methods are used in wireless networks?

The two common encryption methods used in wireless networks are Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2). WEP was the original standard but is now considered insecure. WPA and WPA2 provide stronger encryption and are widely used to secure modern Wi-Fi networks.

What are common transfer speeds of Sprint PCS wireless?

There are several ideas on the common transfer speeds of Sprint PCS wireless. However, most of people says that the common transfer speeds of Sprint PCS wireless is around 80KB/ sec.

Can a wirless access point access internet wirelessly?

Most commonly in houses there is a wired connection from the ISP to the wireless access point. The computers in the house are wirelessly connected to the wireless access point. Having said that, access points that make use of 3G cellphone networks or WiMax do connect wirelessly to the internet. But that is not common yet.
