Protecting your wireless network with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is essential for safeguarding your personal information and devices from unauthorized access. WPA encrypts the data transmitted over your network, making it difficult for intruders to intercept and steal sensitive information. Additionally, using WPA enhances the overall security of your network, helping to prevent malicious activities and ensuring a safer online experience for all connected devices.
An access point (AP)
WAP stands for Wireless Application Protocol. This is basically a technical standard for using information over a mobile network that is wireless.
Secured wireless networks are networks with, usually, a WAP key. A WAP key is located on the actual modem and/or wireless device, etc. Some setups may allow the creator of the network to establish a password in replacement of a standard WAP key.
A WAP (Wireless Access Point) Base Station is a device that allows wireless devices, such as smartphones and laptops, to connect to a network. It serves as a bridge between the wireless network and a wired network, facilitating communication and data transfer. WAP base stations are commonly used in cellular networks to connect mobile devices to the internet and other services. They play a crucial role in enhancing wireless coverage and capacity in both urban and rural areas.
A Wireless Area Network profile tells other computers and peripherals what hardware you are, what your network address is and how secure you want your connection is.
In a wireless local area network (WLAN), the device that determines the next network point to which a packet should be forwarded is typically the wireless access point (WAP) or router. It uses routing protocols and information about the network topology to make forwarding decisions, directing packets toward their destination based on the best available path.
What do you mean working with each other? 802.11g is the wireless protocol, which you can secure with WAP or WEP encryption and it would be called a secured wireless network. Also, it would be called a WLAN for wireless local area network. They're the same thing.
WAP is Wireless Application Protocol
You need a WAP - WIreless Access Point. This is a bridge device that connects the two types of networks together. Or, use a router.
It's not really something to do with the PSP, the WAP key is your wireless router's 'password'. For a PSP to connect to a router, just like your own computer does, you need to know the SSID of the network, and the security passcode. Just enter the same settings as your own computer uses, and the PSP can then connect to your wireless network.
The list of available wireless networks, it should specified as "secured".
Yes, the airport is a wireless router. It should broadcast a wireless network id. If it is secured type in the pass code. The WAP settings need to be the same i.e. 64bit. Check this website: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/DesigningAirPortNetworks0190271.pdf
