Hotspots, on the other hand,are often free of standard security practices in an effortto make it easy for anyone to connect. It may be found
User’s Manual Wireless USB AdapterPage 20that some pay hotspots administered by serviceproviders offer have some level of security, however,when using a hotspot, it’s always a good idea to beproactive and to employ security measures of yourown.Key termsWi-Fi: Short for “wireless fidelity,” a generic label thatrefers to wireless networks or networking.Hotspot: A specific geographic location in which anaccess point provides public wireless broadband networkservices to mobile visitors through a WLAN.Throughput: The amount of data transmitted in a setamount of time.Bandwidth: the amount of data that can be carried fromone point to another in a given time period (usually asecond).Chipset: A group of microchips that execute variousfunctions (like memory) to support the CPU.Tx power: The transmit power measured at the terminalwithout antenna be considered. Should the antenna gainbe considered ,the EIRP value is mentioned.1T1R: the stream channel. 1T1R means one transmitterand one receiver. 1T1R means two transmitters and tworeceivers.The single band : Normally means 802.11b/g/n , whichone works in 2.4 GHz
