2. Wireless access point - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point

   Wireless access point. [1] [2] In computer networking, a wireless access point, or more generally just access point ( AP ), is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired connection to a switch or router, but, in a wireless router ...

3. Wireless distribution system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system

   A wireless distribution system ( WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. The notable advantage of WDS over other solutions is that it preserves ...

4. Wireless ad hoc network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_ad_hoc_network

   Wireless ad hoc network. A wireless ad hoc network [1] ( WANET) or mobile ad hoc network ( MANET) is a decentralized type of wireless network. The network is ad hoc because it does not rely on a pre-existing infrastructure, such as routers or wireless access points. Instead, each node participates in routing by forwarding data for other nodes.

5. Wireless LAN - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_LAN

   This notebook computer is connected to a wireless access point using a PC Card wireless card. An example of a Wi-Fi network. A wireless LAN (WLAN) is a wireless computer network that links two or more devices using wireless communication to form a local area network (LAN) within a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, campus, or office building.

6. CAPWAP - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capwap

   CAPWAP. The Control And Provisioning of Wireless Access Points ( CAPWAP) protocol is a standard, interoperable networking protocol that enables a central wireless LAN Access Controller (AC) to manage a collection of Wireless Termination Points (WTPs), more commonly known as wireless access points. The protocol specification is described in RFC ...

7. Wi-Fi positioning system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_positioning_system

   Cisco Systems uses RSSI to locate devices through its access points. Access points collect the location data and update the location on the Cisco cloud called Cisco DNA Spaces. Monte Carlo sampling. Monte Carlo sampling is a statistical technique used in indoor Wi-Fi mapping to estimate the location of wireless nodes. The process involves ...

8. Monitor mode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_mode

   Monitor mode, or RFMON (Radio Frequency MONitor) mode, allows a computer with a wireless network interface controller (WNIC) to monitor all traffic received on a wireless channel. Unlike promiscuous mode, which is also used for packet sniffing, monitor mode allows packets to be captured without having to associate with an access point or ad hoc ...

9. Lightweight Access Point Protocol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Access_Point...

   Lightweight Access Point Protocol. Lightweight Access Point Protocol ( LWAPP) is a protocol that can control multiple Wi-Fi wireless access points at once. This can reduce the amount of time spent on configuring, monitoring and troubleshooting a large network. The system will also allow network administrators to closely analyze the network.
