IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS:
Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure that they meet all
necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they are designated and/or
marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars,
satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and
limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove
regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the
product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control
parameters that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include,
without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure.
For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format
with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or
code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches,
utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be
solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any
theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the
warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist
in providing support to any third parties for such modified products.
Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition systemlevel regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system
configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant.

WiFi Adapter Settings Description
Name
Description
802.11ac Mode
(5GHz)
The 802.11ac standard builds on 802.11n standard. 802.11ac Mode delivers up to 867Mbps
(theoretical) by increasing channel bandwidth to 80MHz and adding higher density
modulation (256 QAM). Select Enabled or Disabled to set the 802.11ac mode of the WiFi
adapter. Enabled is the default setting. This setting applies to 802.11ac capable adapters
only.
802.11n
Channel Width
(2.4 GHz)
Set high throughput channel width to maximize performance. Set the channel width to
Auto or 20MHz. Use 20MHz if 802.11n channels are restricted. This setting applies to
802.11n capable adapters only.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN (uses 20 MHz
channel width only).
802.11n
Channel Width
(5.2 GHz)
Set high throughput channel width to maximize performance. Set the channel width to
Auto or 20MHz. Use 20MHz if 802.11n channels are restricted. This setting applies to
802.11n capable adapters only.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to the following adapters:
Intel® WiFi Link 1000
Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
802.11n Mode
The 802.11n standard builds on previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO). MIMO increases data throughput to improve transfer rate. Select
Enabled or Disabled to set the 802.11n mode of the WiFi adapter. Enabled is the default
setting. This setting applies to 802.11n capable adapters only.
NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2*AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup
and troubleshooting.
An administrator can enable or disable support for high throughput mode to reduce powerconsumption or conflicts with other bands or compatibility issues.
Ad Hoc
Channel
802.11b/g
Select Enabled or Disabled.
Ad Hoc QoS
Mode
Quality of Service (QoS) control in ad hoc networks. QoS provides prioritization of traffic
from the access point over a wireless LAN based on traffic classification. WMM (Wi-Fi
Multimedia) is the QoS certification of the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA). When WMM is enabled, the
WiFi adapter uses WMM to support priority tagging and queuing capabilities for Wi-Fi
networks.
WMM Enabled
WMM Disabled (Default)
Bluetooth®
AMP
Enable or disable Bluetooth® AMP. AMP stands for alternate MAC/PHY and uses the 802.11
(Wi-Fi) as the high-speed transport. If disabled, Bluetooth HS is turned off.
HT Mode/VHT
Mode/Disabled
This settings lets you select HT Mode (High Throughput mode), VHT Mode (Very High
Throughput Mode) or to disable both modes. HT Mode supports 802.11n compatibility,
whereas VHT Mode supports 802.11ac compatibility.
Fat Channel
Intolerant
This setting communicates to access points that this WiFi adapter does not prefer 40MHz
channels in the 2.4GHz band. The default setting is for this to be turned off (disabled), so
that the adapter does not send this notification. If the access point continues to use 40MHz
channels, the WiFi adapter will also use 40MHz channels if the 802.11n Channel Width
(2.4GHz) setting is AUTO.
NOTE: This setting does not apply to the following adapters:
Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG_
Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
Mixed mode
protection
Use to avoid data collisions in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g environment. Request to
Send/Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) should be used in an environment where clients may not
hear each other. CTS-to-self can be used to gain more throughput in an environment where
clients are in close proximity and can hear each other.
Preferred Band
In an environment with other radiating devices nearby (such as microwave ovens, cordless
telephones, access points, or client devices), in order to reduce interference you may prefer
the 5GHz band over the 2.4GHz band, or vice-versa. Your choices are:
No Preference
Prefer 2.4GHz band
Prefer 5GHz band
Here are the various Wi-Fi bands:
802.11 legacy - 2.4GHz
802.11a - 5GHz
802.11b - 2.4GHz
802.11g - 2.4GHz
802.11n - 2.4GHz and 5GHz
802.11ac - 5GHz
802.11ad - 60GHz
Roaming
Aggressiveness
This setting lets you define how aggressively your wireless client roams to improve
connection to an access point. There are five available settings.
3. Medium: This is the default. A balanced setting between not roaming and
performance.
1. Lowest: Your wireless client will not roam. Only significant link quality
degradation causes it to roam to another access point.
5. Highest: Your wireless client continuously tracks the link quality. If any
degradation occurs, it tries to find and roam to a better access point.
Transmit
Power
Default Setting: Highest power setting.
Lowest: Minimum Coverage: Set the adapter to the lowest transmit power. Enables you
to expand the number of coverage areas or confine a coverage area. Reduces the coverage
area in high traffic areas to improve overall transmission quality and avoids congestion and
interference with other devices.
Highest: Maximum Coverage: Set the adapter to a maximum transmit power level.
Select for maximum performance and range in environments with limited additional WiFi
radio devices.
NOTE: The optimal setting is for a user to always set the transmit power at the lowest
possible level that is still compatible with the quality of their communication. This allows the
maximum number of wireless devices to operate in dense areas and reduce interference
with other devices that it shares the same radio spectrum with.
NOTE: This setting takes effect when either Network (Infrastructure) or Device to Device
(ad hoc) mode is used.
Wake on Magic
Packet
This setting, enabled, wakes the computer from a sleep state when it receives a "magic
packet" from a sending computer. The magic packet contains the MAC address of the
intended destination computer.
Enabling turns on Wake on Magic Packet. Disabling turns off Wake on Magic Packet.
Disabling this only disables the magic packet feature, not Wake on Wireless LAN.
Wake on
Pattern Match
This feature wakes the computer from a sleep state when a particular wake pattern is
received at the adapter. This feature is supported by the Window* 7 and Windows 8. Such
patterns typically are:
Wake on new incoming TCP connection for IPv4 and IPv6 (TCP SYN IPv4 and TCP SYN
IPv6).
Wake on 802.1x re-authentication packets.
Disabling this only disables the pattern match feature, not Wake on Wireless LAN.
Wireless Mode

* This wireless adapter may be installed in mobile devices only (requires > 20 cm antenna separation from the
body of user).
For WiFi/Bluetooth combination adapters it is recommended that a 5 cm separation distance between transmitting
antennas be provided within the host system to maintain an adequate separation ratio for simultaneous WiFi and
Bluetooth transmission. For less than 5 cm separation the separation ratio must be verified according to FCC
publication KDB 447498 for the specific adapter.
Additional regulatory authorization process may be required if wishing to place the 60 GHz/802.11ad RFEM (antenna
array) closer than 20 cm to the user.
Simultaneous Transmission of Intel® Wireless Adapters with Other Integrated or
Plug-In Transmitters
Based upon FCC Knowledge Database publication number 616217, when there are multiple transmitting devices
installed in a host device, an RF exposure transmitting assessment shall be performed to determine the necessary
application and test requirements. OEM integrators must identify all possible combinations of simultaneous
transmission configurations for all transmitters and antennas installed in the host system. This includes transmitters
installed in the host as mobile devices (>20 cm separation from user) and portable devices (<20 cm separation from
user). OEM integrators should consult the actual FCC KDB 616217 document for all details in making this assessment
to determine if any additional requirements for testing or FCC approval is necessary.
Information To Be Supplied to the End User by the OEM or Integrator
The following regulatory and safety notices must be published in documentation supplied to the end user of the
product or system incorporating the Intel® wireless adapter, in compliance with local regulations. Host system must
be labeled with "Contains FCC ID: XXXXXXXX", FCC ID displayed on label.
The wireless adapter must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as
described in the user documentation that comes with the product. For country-specific approvals, see Radio
Approvals. Intel Corporation is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by unauthorized
modification of the devices included with the wireless adapter kit or the substitution or attachment of connecting
cables and equipment other than that specified by Intel Corporation. The correction of interference caused by such
unauthorized modification, substitution or attachment is the responsibility of the user. Intel Corporation and
authorized resellers or distributors are not liable for any damage or violation of government regulations that may
arise from the user failing to comply with these guidelines.

Glossary
Term
Definition
802.11
The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless
LAN technology. The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and
a base station or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the
2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence
spread spectrum (DSSS).
802.11a
The 802.11a standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps and an operating
frequency of 5 GHz. The 802.11a standard uses the Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission method. Additionally, the 802.11a standard supports
802.11 features such as WEP encryption for security.
802.11b
802.11b is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless networks and provides 11 Mbps
transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only
DSSS. Throughput data rate 5+ Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11g
The 802.11g standard specifies a maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps, an operating
frequency of 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11g networks are also referred to
as Wi-Fi* networks.
802.11n
A task group of the IEEE 802.11 committee has defined a new draft specification that
provides for increased throughput speeds of up to 540 Mbps. The specification provides for
Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, or using multiple receivers and multiple
transmitters in both the client and access point, to achieve improved performance.
802.1X
802.1X is the IEEE Standard for Port-Based Network Access Control. This is used in
conjunction with EAP methods to provide access control to wired and wireless networks.
AAA Server
Authentication, Authorization and Accounting Server. A system to control access to computer
resources and track user activity.
Access Point
(AP)
A device that connects wireless devices to another network. For example, a wireless LAN,
Internet modem or others.
Ad Hoc Network
A communication configuration in which every computer has the same capabilities, and any
computer can initiate a communication session. Also known as a peer-to-peer network, a
device to device network or a computer-to-computer network.
AES-CCMP
Advanced Encryption Standard - Counter CBC-MAC Protocol is the new method for privacy
protection of wireless transmissions specified in the IEEE 802.11i standard. AES-CCMP
provides a stronger encryption method than TKIP. The AES algorithm is capable of using
cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in 128-bit blocks.
AES-CCMP uses the AES block cipher, but restricts the key length to 128 bits. AES-CCMP
incorporates two sophisticated cryptographic techniques (counter mode and CBC-MAC) to
provide improved security between the mobile client and the access point.
Authentication
Verifies the identity of a user logging onto a network. Passwords, digital certificates, smart
cards and biometrics are used to prove the identity of the client to the network. Passwords
and digital certificates are also used to identify the network to the client.
Available
network
One of the networks listed under Available networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the
Wireless Network Connection Properties (Windows* XP environment). Any wireless network
that is broadcasting and is within receiving range of the WiFi adapter appears on the list.
BER
Bit Error Rate. The ratio of errors to the total number of bits being sent in a data
transmission from one location to another.
Bit Rate
The total number of bits (ones and zeros) per second that a network connection can support.
Note that this bit rate will vary, under software control, with different signal path conditions.
Broadcast SSID
Used to allow an access point to respond to clients on a wireless network by sending probes.
BSSID
A unique identifier for each wireless client on a wireless network. The Basic Service Set
Identifier (BSSID) is the Ethernet MAC address of each adapter on the network.
CA (Certificate
Authority)
A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In addition, Internet Explorer's
certificate can import a certificate from a file. A trusted CA certificate is stored in the root
store.
CCX (Cisco
Compatible
eXtension)
Cisco Compatible Extensions Program ensures that devices used on Cisco wireless LAN
infrastructure meet the security, management and roaming requirements.
Certificate
Used for client authentication. A certificate is registered on the authentication server (for
example, RADIUS server) and used by the authenticator.
CKIP
Cisco Key Integrity Protocol (CKIP) is a Cisco proprietary security protocol for encryption in
802.11 media. CKIP uses a key message integrity check and message sequence number to
improve 802.11 security in infrastructure mode. CKIP is Cisco's version of TKIP.
Client computer
The computer that gets its Internet connection by sharing either the host computer's
connection or the access point's connection.
DSSS
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum. Technology used in radio transmission. Incompatible with
FHSS.
EAP
Short for Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP sits inside of Point-to-Point Protocol's (PPP)
authentication protocol and provides a generalized framework for several different
authentication methods. EAP is supposed to head off proprietary authentication systems and
let everything from passwords to challenge-response tokens and public-key infrastructure
certificates all work smoothly.
EAP-AKA
EAP-AKA (Extensible Authentication Protocol Method for UMTS Authentication and Key
Agreement) is an EAP mechanism for authentication and session key distribution, using the
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Subscriber Identity Module (USIM).
The USIM card is a special smart card used with cellular networks to validate a given user
with the network.
EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST, like EAP-TTLS and PEAP, uses tunneling to protect traffic. The main difference is
that EAP-FAST does not use certificates to authenticate.
Provisioning in EAP-FAST is negotiated solely by the client as the first communication
exchange when EAP-FAST is requested from the server. If the client does not have a preshared secret Protected Access Credential (PAC), it can request to initiate a provisioning
EAP-FAST exchange to dynamically obtain one from the server.
EAP-FAST documents two methods to deliver the PAC: manual delivery through an out-ofband secure mechanism, and automatic provisioning.
Manual delivery mechanisms can be any delivery mechanism that the administrator of
the network feels is sufficiently secure for their network.
Automatic provisioning establishes an encrypted tunnel to protect the authentication of
the client and the delivery of the PAC to the client. This mechanism, while not as
secure as a manual method may be, is more secure than the authentication method
used in LEAP.
The EAP-FAST method can be divided into two parts: provisioning, and authentication. The
provisioning phase involves the initial delivery of the PAC to the client. This phase only needs
to be performed once per client and user.
EAP-GTC
The EAP-GTC (Generic Token Card) is similar to the EAP-OTP except with hardware token
cards. The request contains a displayable message, and the response contains the string
read from the hardware token card.
EAP-OTP
EAP-OTP (One-Time Password) is similar to MD5, except it uses the OTP as the response.
The request contains a displayable message. The OTP method is defined in RFC 2289.
EAP-SIM
Extensible Authentication Protocol-Subscriber Identity Module (EAP-SIM) authentication can
be used with:
Network Authentication types: Open, Shared, and WPA*-Enterprise, WPA2*Enterprise.
Data Encryption types: None, WEP and CKIP.
A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) based digital cellular networks. The SIM card is used to validate your credentials with
the network
EAP-TLS
A type of authentication method that uses EAP and a security protocol called the Transport
Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates that use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication
supports dynamic WEP key management.
EAP-TTLS
A type of authentication method that uses EAP and Tunneled Transport Layer Security
(TTLS). EAP-TTLS uses a combination of certificates and another security method such as
passwords.

DSSS.
File and printer
sharing
A capability that allows a number of people to view, modify, and print the same file(s) from
different computers.

not only provides communication with the wired network, but also mediates wireless network
traffic in the immediate neighborhood.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an organization involved in defining
computing and communications standards.
Internet
Protocol (IP)
address
The address of a computer that is attached to a network. Part of the address designates
which network the computer is on, and the other part represents the host identification.
LAN (Local Area
Network)
A high-speed, low-error data network covering a relatively small geographic area.
LEAP (Light
Extensible
Authentication
Protocol)
A version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). LEAP is a proprietary extensible
authentication protocol developed by Cisco that provides a challenge-response
authentication mechanism and dynamic key assignment.

Open
authentication
Allows any device network access. If encryption is not enabled on the network, any device
that knows the Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the access point can gain access to the
network.
PEAP
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) draft protocol sponsored by Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA Security. PEAP creates an
encrypted tunnel similar to the tunnel used in secure web pages (SSL). Inside the encrypted
tunnel, a number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client
authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but unlike EAP-TLS
there is no requirement to have a certificate on the client. PEAP has not been ratified by the
IETF. The IETF is currently comparing PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an
authentication standard for 802.1X authentication in 802.11 wireless systems. PEAP is an
authentication type designed to take advantage of server-side EAP-Transport Layer Security
(EAP-TLS) and to support various authentication methods, including user passwords and
one-time passwords, and Generic Token Cards.
Peer-to-Peer
mode
A wireless network structure that allows wireless clients to communicate directly with each
other without using an access point.
Power save
mode
The state in which the radio is periodically powered down to conserve power. When the
portable computer is in Power Save mode, received packets are stored in the access point
until the wireless adapter wakes up.
Preferred
network
One of the networks that has been configured. Such networks are listed under Preferred
networks on the Wireless Networks tab of the Wireless Network Connection Properties
(Windows* XP environment).
RADIUS
(Remote
Authentication
Dial-In User
Service)
RADIUS is an authentication and accounting system that verifies user's credentials and
grants access to requested resources.
RF (Radio
Frequency)
The international unit for measuring frequency is Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to the older
unit of cycles per second. One MegaHertz (MHz) is one million Hertz. One GigaHertz (GHz) is
one billion Hertz. For reference: the standard US electrical power frequency is 60 Hz, the AM
broadcast radio frequency band is 0.55 -1.6 MHz, the FM broadcast radio frequency band is
88-108 MHz, and microwave ovens typically operate at 2.45 GHz.
Roaming
Movement of a wireless node between two micro cells. Roaming usually occurs in
infrastructure networks built around multiple access points. Current wireless network
roaming is only supported in the same subnet of a network.
RTS threshold
The number of frames in the data packet at or above which an RTS/CTS (request to
send/clear to send) handshake is turned on before the packet is sent. The default value is
2347.
Shared key
An encryption key known only to the receiver and sender of data. This is also referred to as
a pre-shared key.
SIM (Subscriber
Identity
Module)
A SIM card is used to validate credentials with the network. A SIM card is a special smart
card used by GSM-based digital cellular networks.
Silent mode
Silent Mode Access Points or Wireless Routers have been configured to not broadcast the
SSID for the wireless network. This makes it necessary to know the SSID in order to
configure the wireless profile to connect to the access point or wireless router.
Single Sign On
Single Sign On feature set allows the 802.1X credentials to match your Windows log on user
name and password credentials for wireless network connections.
SSID (Service
Set Identifier)
SSID or network name is a value that controls access to a wireless network. The SSID for
your wireless network card must match the SSID for any access point that you want to
connect with. If the value does not match, you are not granted access to the network. Each
SSID may be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long and is case-sensitive.
stealth
A stealth access point is one that has the capability and is configured to not broadcast its
SSID. This is the WiFi network name that appears when a DMU (Device Management Utility,
such as Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility) scans for available wireless
networks. Although this can enhance wireless network security, it is commonly considered a
weak security feature. To connect to a stealth access point, a user must specifically know the
SSID and configure their DMU accordingly. The feature is not a part of the 802.11
specification, and is known by differing names by various vendors: closed mode, private
network, SSID broadcasting.
TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity
Protocol)
Temporal Key Integrity protocol improves data encryption. Wi-Fi Protected Access* uses its
TKIP. TKIP provides important data encryption enhancements including a re-keying method.
TKIP is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless networks. TKIP is the next
generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless
networks. TKIP provides per packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying
mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
TLS (Transport
Layer Security)
A type of authentication method using the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and a
security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates which
use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management. The TLS
protocol is intended to secure and authenticate communications across a public network
through data encryption. The TLS Handshake Protocol allows the server and client to provide
mutual authentication and to negotiate an encryption algorithm and cryptographic keys
before data is transmitted.
TTLS (Tunneled
Transport Layer
Security)
These settings define the protocol and the credentials used to authenticate a user. In TTLS,
the client uses EAP-TLS to validate the server and create a TLS-encrypted channel between
the client and server. The client can use another authentication protocol. Typically passwordbased protocols challenge over this encrypted channel to enable server validation. The
challenge and response packets are sent over a non-exposed TLS encrypted channel. TTLS
implementations today support all methods defined by EAP, as well as several older methods
(CHAP, PAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP-V2). TTLS can easily be extended to work with new
protocols by defining new attributes to support new protocols.
WEP (Wired
Equivalent
Privacy)
Wired Equivalent Privacy, 64- and 128-bit (64-bit is sometimes referred to as 40-bit). This is
a low-level encryption technique designed to give the user about the same amount of
privacy that he would expect from a LAN. WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area
networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same
level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide security by data over radio
waves so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one end point to another.
WEP Key
Either a pass phrase or hexadecimal key.
The pass phrase must be 5 ASCII characters for 64-bit WEP or 13 ASCII characters for 128bit WEP. For pass phrases, 0-9, a-z, A-Z, and ~!@#$%^&*()_+|`-={}|[]\:";'<>?,./ are all
valid characters.
The hex key must be 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 64-bit WEP or 26
hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F) for 128-bit WEP.
Wi-Fi*
(Wireless
Fidelity)
Is meant to be used generically when referring of any type to 802.11 network, whether
802.11b, 802.11a, or dual-band.
WiMAX
WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications
technology aimed at providing wireless data over long distances in a variety of ways, from
point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access. It is based on the IEEE 802.16
standard. The name WiMAX was created by the WiMAX Forum, which was formed in June
2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the standard. The forum describes
WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless
broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL."
Wireless router
A stand-alone wireless hub that allows any computer that has a wireless network adapter to
communicate with another computer within the same network and to connect to the
Internet.
WLAN (Wireless
Local-Area
Network)
A type of local-area network that uses high-frequency radio waves rather than wires to
communicate between nodes.
WPA* (Wi-Fi
Protected
Access)
This is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and
access control to a wireless network. WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with
the IEEE's 802.11i standard upon its completion. WPA consists of RC4 and TKIP and provides
support for BSS (Infrastructure) mode only. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.
WPA2* (Wi-Fi
This is the second generation of WPA that complies with the IEEE TGi specification. WPA2
Protected
Access 2)
consists of AES encryption, pre-authentication and PMKID caching. It provides support for
BSS (Infrastructure) mode and IBSS (ad hoc) mode. WPA and WPA2 are compatible.
WPA-Enterprise
Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise applies to corporate users. A new standards-based,
interoperable security technology for wireless LAN (subset of IEEE 802.11i draft standard)
that encrypts data sent over radio waves. WPA is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to
improve upon the security features of WEP as follows:
Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP
uses a hashing algorithm to scramble the encryption keys and adds an integritychecking feature to ensure that the keys have not been tampered with.
User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible
authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a
computer's hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out
and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that
only authorized network users can access the network.
WPA is an interim standard that will be replaced with the IEEE's 802.11i standard upon its
completion.
WPA-Personal
Wi-Fi Protected Access-Personal provides a level of security in the small network or home
environment.
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi
ProtectedAccess PreShared Key)
WPA-PSK mode does not use an authentication server. It can be used with the data
encryption types WEP or TKIP. WPA-PSK requires configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK).
You must enter a pass phrase or 64 hex characters for a pre-shared key of length 256-bits.
The data encryption key is derived from the PSK.
