 To check IP address using CMD, type command “ipconfig” in
command prompt, there IPv4 is the IP address.

3. How can we enter static address in network adapter?

 To enter static address in network adapter: Go to control
panel, click on network and internet then click on network
and sharing option, choose change adapter setting, right
click on adapter, go to properties and click on internet
protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4), after that click on properties
then enter static IP address select ok.

Topic: Wireless networking

 Assignment Level Basic
1. What is the difference between WEP and WPA?
 WEP is a lot weaker compared to WPA
 Older equipment that can use WEP might not be able to use
WPA
 WPA requires a bit more processing power compared to
WEP

2. What is Wireless Network?

  A wireless network is the network which allows computers
or other devices to be connected within amplified access
points without wires and cables.

 Assignment Level Intermediate

1. What is a wireless network connection?
 When two or more devices over distance are communicating
using a network technology without the use of wires or
cables then this connection is called wireless network
connection.

2. What are the basic concepts of networking?

 The basic concept of networking is the interconnection of
two or more networks at different places to communicate
such as to receive or share files, data, printer and related
resources through network devices like switches, routers or
wireless access point.

 Assignment Level Advance

1. What do you need to know about networking?
 Switches, routers, and wireless access points are the
essential networking basics through them, computer and
devices can connect to the network and able to
communicate with one another as well as with other
networks, like the Internet.

2. How do you explain computer networking?

 Computer networking refers to interconnected computing
devices that can exchange data and share resources with
each other. These networked devices use a system of rules,
called communications protocols, to transmit information
over physical or wireless technologies.
