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.
Why would an administrator want to run one of the encryption methods?
Confidentiality.
Is KisMac Legal?
Kismac is just a Wireless network discovery tool for the Mac OSX. It just searches for Wireless Networks. It is mainly for developed for network security professionals. Kismac is also considered to be one of the best MAC OSX though the wireless drivers that are provided with Kismac are not the best to be used with Apple Airport and it is also evident that the Kismac is not able to find the Airport card after it has run the Mac using the Airport drivers available in the Active mode. If you don't know how to operate with Kismac refer the link in sources. As far as the question of Legality comes in, Kismac is legal as its just a small utility used for finding wireless networks and not intruding the networks by breaching any rules.
How do you add wireless networks to wireless keyview?
Wireless keyview, as I understand, is a freeware programme/simple tool that recovers all wireless network keys (WEP/WPA) stored in your computer by the 'Wireless Zero Configuration' service of Windows XP. If your Wireless network has not been registered on that particular PC, then no key is stored. You can't just add a wireless network to the programme. Whichever PC you've had connected to the wireless modem/router will be the one that has the network passkey stored on it. I suggest you install the programme on that PC and run it (as an administrator). It should then "add" the wireless network and reveal the forgotten passkey.
What are advantages and disadvantages of wireless security?
The initial setup of a wireless connection infrastructure that implements security is not complicated as that of wired connections. The disadvantage of wireless security is that most of the encryption methods are common and have weaknesses.
What are wireless routers for?
They are used to run the internet.
How can you get windows x p to manage wireless connections?
This depends on the wireless card vendor, but for Linksys, right-clicking on the green wireless icon in the notification area will give you the option to use Windows to manage the wireless connection.If that does not work, you can jump straight to the Network Connections panel by clicking Start -> Run (or just Start in Vista) and typing in ncpa.cpl . Hit and you'll open the Network Connections window.Locate your Wireless Network Connection, then right-click and hit Properties.Click on the [Wireless Networks] tab at the top.The very first option is "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings."
How do you connect to a secured wireless network?
To establish a connection with a secure Wi-Fi network, follow these steps: Open your device's wireless settings. Scan for available Wi-Fi networks. Select the desired secured network. Input the required security key or passphrase. Confirm the details and wait for a connection to be established. Once connected, you'll have access to the secure wireless network.
Increasing Your Wireless Security?
In this day and age, wireless security is more important than ever before. Wireless security allows you to build a defense against internet and local threats, and it can save you some real grief in the long run. In today's world, it's not very hard for intruders to break into a wireless network if some sort of wireless security method is not in place. This is why it's imperative to start thinking about wireless security and making use of the security features that come on almost all routers these days.One of the first ways to increase your wireless security is to enable encryption with a passphrase. This means you must start using either WEP or WPA encryption with your wireless network. WEP is more frowned upon in terms of using it as a security measure because hackers have a much less difficult time figuring out the network key to your wireless network. If at all possible, go with WPA encryption and be sure to record the passphrase (AKA network key) somewhere in a safe place for future reference.Next, be sure that your network isn't being broadcasted. This can help you defend your wireless network against internet and local intruders. This also means that your network will not be visible by unknown devices that search for nearby networks. Typically, your network's broadcasting can be turned off by logging into your router's settings and switching it off manually.If you've ended up sharing your wireless network's key with a multitude of people, it's a good idea to keep periodic tabs on all of the connected devices to your network. Never assume that someone you've trusted wouldn't give your network key to someone else that you aren't aware of. Most routers come with the ability to show users exactly what devices are attached, their IP addresses, MAC addresses, as well as that device's "name". This feature is often called the "DHCP Clients Table."If you happen to notice a "JOHN-LAPTOP" connected to your wireless network and you don't recognize this device, this is a pretty clear indication that your network has been intruded. Some routers give you the option to stop the activity, or you can even change your wireless security key to something different to also immediately break connection with that user.It's important to keep a close watch over your wireless network or your confidential files and data could be at stake.
What are some ways someone would go about researching a television networks agenda?
comparing its programming to programs run by other networks
Can you set up your PC using cable and your notebook using wireless?
NetworkingYes you can but it would be simplar and more effectiant to have both using wireless, it is more effectient. Now both would have to a wireless nic card. If you decide to just run the labtop on wireless you will have to have a wireless router and a DSL router to run them off diffrent Network configurations.
