Question 1

What is the difference between a WEP and WPA encryption?

WPA is a less secure encryption protocol than WEP WPA utilizes a stronger encryption protocol than WEP WPA does not use an encryption protocol which makes it less secure WPA and WEP utilize the same encryption protocol WEP is a more secure encryption protocol than WPA WPA and WEP both utilize encryption protocols which makes them equally secure

Correct Answer: WPA utilizes a stronger encryption protocol than WEP

WPA is generally considered to be more secure than WEP due to its use of a stronger encryption protocol

Question 2

What is the main purpose of a wireless access point?

Detecting Wireless Attacks Securing Wireless Traffic Preventing Wireless Interference Identifying Wireless Devices Enabling Wired Network Connectivity Providing Wireless Network Connectivity

Correct Answer: Providing Wireless Network Connectivity

Wireless access points are devices that provide wireless network connectivity to devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. They allow these devices to connect to a network without the need for cables.

Question 3

What is the purpose of antenna gain in wireless networks?

It increases the signal strength and coverage area of the wireless network. It helps to secure the wireless network from attacks. It decreases the signal strength and coverage area of the wireless network. It provides wired connectivity to the wireless network devices. It amplifies the noise in the wireless network. It disrupts the operation of nearby wireless networks.

Correct Answer: It increases the signal strength and coverage area of the wireless network.

Antenna gain is a measure of the ability of an antenna to concentrate the radiated energy in a particular direction. The higher the gain, the narrower the beamwidth and the farther the signal can travel. This results in increased signal strength and coverage area of the wireless network.
