**Explain the significance of IEEE 802.11
IEEE 802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN)
communication, which defines the operation of wireless networks that use the 802.11
protocols. It is the most widely used wireless networking standard in the world, and it
is used for everything from home and office networks to public Wi-Fi hotspots. IEEE
802.11 is important because it ensures that all compatible devices can communicate
with each other, regardless of manufacturer. It also enables a high level of network
security, which helps to protect user data and privacy.
Components of WLANs
Types of WLANS
Advantages of WLANs
Disadvantages of WLANs
Since radio waves are used for communications, the signals are noisier with
more interference from nearby systems.
Greater care is needed for encrypting information. Also, they are more prone to
errors. So, they require greater bandwidth than the wired LANs.
WLANs are slower than wired LANs.
