Beginning wifi

Currently in development, this project has the goal of providing 4x the throughput of It is an amendment that defines a new physical layer for It will be an extension of the existing 11ad, aimed to extend the throughput, range and use-cases.

The main use-cases include: indoor operation, out-door back-haul and short range communications. The main extensions include: channel bonding 2, 3 and 4 , MIMO and higher modulation schemes. In addition, existing MAC and PHY functions have been enhanced and obsolete features were removed or marked for removal. Some clauses and annexes have been renumbered.

Some vendors have extended WiFi technology to include Outdoor WiFi and proprietary extensions such as Mesh and other features. These devices allow greater use access to WiFi in public spaces.

A CableFree outdoor-grade WiFi Hotspot device, with 2 or more radio cards capable of multi-band multi-standard operation, supporting Hotspot Controller and Mesh features. You must be logged in to post a comment.

This, my friends, is a big deal. That is a boatload of channels! Additionally, there is the potential to use twenty-nine 40 MHz channels.

Even more surprising is that the fourteen new 80 MHz channels in the 6 GHz band are expected to be used extensively in the enterprise. Expect a future blog just about 6 GHz channel-planning for enterprise Wi-Fi deployments. The other good news is that the international regulatory organizations for spectrum management communicate with one another. And as shown in Figure 2, many other world regions are also making all or portions of the 6 GHz frequency band available for Wi-Fi.

Do you have any advice about how to get the Windows computer to talk to the other 2? Your advice is appreciated. Thanks, john. John for all computers to see each other they would need to connect to the hotspot on your phone. You can buy mobile wi-fi routers which would be a much better solution. On my work pc. They are both set to automatic IP setting. Thanks, Hamis. I have a work computer and a home laptop. The work computer is wired to my router and a line to my wall.

I use wifi on my laptop. Is my connection for home use private or can my company access my interaction on my laptop since I know they can pop onto my screen to see what I do on the work computer.

What sort of networking would I need to have to prevent them from joining onto my personal laptop? I would assume that the company installed software on the work computer to allow them to access it remotely.

If you have cable or fibre to the home then this is usually a coax cable. Does that make sense? I have a wired Ethernet home network which was installed at least 10 years ago. We were able to share files, printers etc on 3 laptops around the home We had a very good internet service to manage the network.

It identified any additional hardware and installed it into the system. However, it was bought out by Corel some years ago and closed down! Nothing similar that I could find has appeared since. Now with Windows 10 eliminating Home Group we have so far been unable to set up a replacement network.

Windows instructions for sharing on a home network are complex to say the least! So what now? Do I need to uninstall the remnants of the old network and install some thing new? What is it? Perhaps there is a programme somewhere like the one described above? Going wireless is not an easy option because of interfering structures in the home. Thanks for any advice. On my home network I share printers and folders on different windows machines and Linux machines using Windows networking.

To make it easy you need to create a user account with the same name and password on each machine and if you can be as open as possible use everyone when sharing as it makes it easier. The difficult part with sharing is security so just be careful what you share. Once you are setup and it is working then you can change it to make it more secure if you need to.

Steve, Thank you for your good advice. A problem of age and memory! It is possible to plug the digital phone cord into a ethernet switch, will the phone signal and the internet signal work together? I use two laptops, one a primary for everyday use, the other a secondary for backup purposes.

Both have Ubuntu Linux as their operating system. I would like to synchronize files between the two but cannot at present do this. I have facilitated file sharing in the relevant folder of the secondary laptop. The whole situation is confusing me. Can you help in any way? Thanks in advance for any response. You should be able to ping each machine from the other one.

It should work. Let me know how you get on. Hi Steve, You have a great website. I like how you cover most important networking concepts and components in a clear and concise manner. I disagree with question 4 on the quiz. If your computer does not have at least one proper DNS IP address configured, it cannot connect to the internet. Your email address will not be published. Skip to content Today almost every home and small office has a local network, and an Internet connection.

Early pre home networks were predominately wired networks. Not so easy and fast to setup as it requires running cables. However Homeplug or powerline adapters can be used instead. Not so easy for visitors and mobile devices laptops to connect to. Main Uses It Is best used for network backbone i. Wireless Network Advantages Easy to setup from an end user perspective. Allows easy access to smart phones, Tablets and mobile devices.

This sparked development in prototype equipment routers to comply with IEEE WiFi uses electromagnetic waves to communicate data that run at two main frequencies: 2. For many years, 2. In , faster speeds and distance coverage of the earlier WiFi versions combined to make the Routers were getting better too, with higher power and further coverage than ever before.

WiFi was beginning to catch up — competing with the speed of the fastest wired connections. This allowed for significant increases in data without the need for higher bandwidth or transmit power. The 2. Consequently, 5Ghz became the more attractive option. To solve this issue, dual-band routers were created.
