Chapter 11 Interfaces

•Every device in a wireless network must use the same SSID.

The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.

•Different wireless networks in the same area should use different channels.

Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.

•Every wireless client in a wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.

Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network and can protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.
