| When a network uses the 802.11 standard, it is said to be a _____________. | WI-fi or wireless |
| Establishing a unique__________ or network name helps ensure that only wireless network devices configured similarly are permitted access to network. | SSID(Service set identifier) |
| Of the several wireless encryption protocols, _______ is the least secure. | WEP(Wired equivalent privacy) |
