Title: Install secure wireless LAN infrastructure.
Course: Cybersecurity Systems Technology, Advanced (10109-IV) > Section: Exploring Network Operations

Installation includes configuring and implementing the appropriate technologies in support of wireless-capable devices:

- SOHO wireless router – paying particular attention to security settings (e.g., authentication, MAC address whitelisting, packet inspection).
- Wireless access points
  - Device density
  - Roaming
  - Wireless controllers
  - VLAN pooling
  - Light Weight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP)

- Wireless bridge
- Site surveys
  - Heat maps

- Frequencies
  - 2.4 gigahertz (GHz)
  - 5.0 GHz

- Channels
- Goodput
- Connection types
  - 802.11a-ht
  - 802.11g-ht

- Antenna placement
- Antenna types
  - Omnidirectional
  - Unidirectional

- Multiple Input, Multiple Output/Multiuser MIMO (MIMO/MU-MIMO)
- Signal strength
  - Coverage
  - Differences between device antennas

- Service Set Identifier (SSID) broadcast
- Topologies
  - Ad hoc
  - Mesh
  - Infrastructure

- Mobile devices
  - Smartphones
  - Laptops
  - Tablets
  - Gaming devices
  - Media devices

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the advantage/disadvantage of using the 5.0 GHz frequency?
