What is WLAN – Wireless Local Area Network?

Wireless LAN provides networking capability to a group of wireless devices in a close proximity to each other such as in office building, schools, universities and home. All the communication process is done without any physical wiring. WLAN is useful for providing each device with a connection through an access point to the internet. WLANs use radio frequencies to transmit and receive information. Wireless LANs are very popular these days because of the increase in laptops and due to its ease of installation. E.g. certain shopping malls and businesses are offering free wireless access to their customers.

Brief Project Overview:

I am expected to test the wireless bridge (1 version) and wireless access points (up to 3 versions) in the workshop and real life environments, and to state the maximum performance and limitations of all versions. WLAN technologies play a big role in the testing because it is a medium for communication process
