The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.

Figure 47

Example of a Wireless Network

The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices

and

use the

access point (

) to interact with the other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your

Device is the AP.

Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.

•

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

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

•

If two wireless networks overlap, they should use a different channel.

Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or

frequency, to send and receive information.

•

Every device in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.

Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the

information that is sent in the wireless network.

Radio Channels

In the radio spectrum, there are certain frequency bands allocated for unlicensed, civilian use. For

the purposes of wireless networking, these bands are divided into numerous channels. This allows a

variety of networks to exist in the same place without interfering with one another. When you

create a network, you must select a channel to use.

Since the available unlicensed spectrum varies from one country to another, the number of

available channels also varies.
