Document Summary

Throughput depends on: number and type of strategies used, whether network uses 2. 4-ghz or 5-ghz band an 802. 11n, an 8(cid:882)(cid:884). (cid:883)(cid:883) ac wave (cid:883) network throughput has been as high as networks actual throughput: 65 - 500 mbps. To ensure fastest data rates on an 802. 11n lan: use 802. 11n compatible devices, 802. 11ac can be implanted with both 802. 11n and 802. 11ac devices 6. 3 802. 11 wireless security authentication: Process of comparing and matching a clients credentials with he credentials in a client database to enable the client to log into network: the authentication process can be somewhat strengthened by using. Mac filtering, or mac address filtering, which prevents the ap from authenticating any device whose mac address is not listed by the network administrator. (mac address filtering can also be instituted on a switch instead of an ap. ) - it can be time consuming, however, to maintain a current list of all approved mac addresses, and mac addresses can be impersonated.
