802.11n | 802.11n is a specification for wireless LAN (WLAN) communications. An |
| addition to the 802.11 family of standards, 802.11n increases network speed and |
| reliability and extends the operating distance of wireless networks. Raw data |
| throughput is expected to reach as much as 600 Mb/s, or more than 10 times the |
| throughput of 802.11g |
A
access point | A wireless LAN data transceiver that uses radio waves to connect a wired |
| network with wireless stations. |
ad hoc network | A wireless network composed of stations without access points. |
antenna gain | The gain of an antenna is a measure of the antenna ability to direct or focus radio |
| energy over a region of space. High gain antennas have a more focused radiation |
| pattern in a specific direction. |
associated | A station is configured properly to allow it to wirelessly communicate with an |
| access point. |
