Lab 6.1 Review
1. It uses a beacon like transmission to find other devices on IBSS mode and on the same SSID to connect and share.
2. It has a very very short range and is unable to penetrate walls and other objects.
3. It is able to maintain connection anywhere in the house it is setup in without the need of trailing a connection cable like wired connections so you get a tradeoff of speed vs versatility
Lab 6.2 Review
1. The biggest problem would be collision if multiple routers are using the same channel a common example of this is Comcast routers are set to use a channel close to the signal for the ps3 so you get a depredation of signal and loss of data packets as the connection goes on.
2. If a previously stated standard is not compatible with your adapter you could have issues with your connection not connecting
Lab 6.3 Review
1. Um well I could write a book but simply a guest having access to your network could result in any imaginable results on your network to name a few rootkits,Trojan droppers, Remote Access Terminals, Keyloggers, Viruse’s.
2. Setting a MAC filter is a good way to filter who has access to your network its simply like saying Fred has access to the building with his fingerprint being scanned by a biometric scanner. Although this can be spoofed by spoofing your mac but you would still have to find out which macs are allowed and have to make sure the mac your spoofing is not connected so that you do not receive a duplicate error.
Lab Review 6.4
1. A AP’s signal would fade naturally the farther from the signal source you go but with the signal going through walls will further degrade the signal depending on the thickness of the wall. So you would have to account for walls or objects that could further degrade your signal from the source.
2. A student in classroom b connect to AP3. The student in classroom A will connect to AP2. A student in lab a would connect to AP 2.
3. A more powerful antenna would increase the singal output and should (should not could) make the signal able to keeps more of its strength with the increased signal output.
