Wireless Networking Basics

The available channels supported by the wireless products in various countries are different. 

For example, Channels 1 to 11 are supported in the U.S. and Canada, and Channels 1 to 13 are 
supported in Europe and Australia.

The preferred channel separation between the channels in neighboring wireless networks is 25 
MHz (5 channels). This means that you can apply up to three different channels within your 
wireless network. There are only 11 usable wireless channels in the United States. It is 
recommended that you start using channel 1 and grow to use channel 6, and 11 when necessary, as 
these three channels do not overlap.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a specification of standards-based, interoperable 
security enhancements that increase the level of data protection and access control for existing and 
future wireless LAN systems. 

The IEEE introduced the WEP as an optional security measure to secure 802.11b (Wi-Fi) WLANs, 
but inherent weaknesses in the standard soon became obvious. In response to this situation, the 
Wi-Fi Alliance announced a new security architecture in October 2002 that remedies the 
shortcomings of WEP. This standard, formerly known as Safe Secure Network (SSN), is designed 
to work with existing 802.11 products and offers forward compatibility with 802.11i, the new 
wireless security architecture that has been defined by the IEEE.
