The AP placement in a home or office would be affected depending upon home layout and network setup (device placement) as well as trying to keep others from accessing your network from outside the home.
The AP placement will be affected with a stronger antenna, because the in a larger building the AP placement can be shifted to reach all of the necessary areas.
Lab 6.5
Wireless security as pertains to the wireless LANs. The needs for it are depending upon the information used on the devices utilizing the LANs. There are different levels of encryptions all with pros and cons. The encryption method is not the only method to provide security to your wireless LAN connections.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the most widely used Wi-Fi security algorithm in the world. Wi-Fi Protected Access(WPA) was the Wi-Fi Alliance’s direct response and replacement to the increasingly apparent vulnerabilities of the WEP standard. It was formally adopted in 2003, a year before WEP was officially retired. The most common WPA configuration is WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key). The keys used by WPA are 256-bit, a significant increase over the 64-bit and 128-bit keys used in the WEP system. WPA has, as of 2006, been officially superseded by WPA2. One of the most significant changes between WPA and WPA2 was the mandatory use of AES algorithms and the introduction of CCMP (Counter Cipher Mode with Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) as a replacement for TKIP (still preserved in WPA2 as a fallback system and for interoperability with WPA).Unfortunately, the same vulnerability that is the biggest hole in the WPA armor, the attack vector through the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS),
