WLAN Design, Configuration and Deployment

Start with wireless connections

The mind map Connecting to wireless networks is a useful starting point for exploring the terms on this page. It covers data transmission speed, bandwidth, Wi-Fi, service set identifiers and wireless security. It also includes WEP, WPA, WPA2, AES and firewall settings.

Use the map to see these ideas together before moving to the configuration maps. You can return to it when a quiz question uses a term you want to check. The resources were made by GoConqr users, so each presents its topic from the creator's perspective.

Move from configuration to questions

The WLAN configuration mind maps cover remote site configuration, wireless routers and basic network setup. They also include topics such as configuring a wireless mesh network, NAT for IPv4, and configuring a basic WLAN or a WPA2 Enterprise WLAN on a wireless LAN controller. Some maps share a title but contain different branches, so it is worth opening them to compare their coverage.

After exploring a map, try Wireless. Its questions include a scenario involving the noise floor, signal-to-noise ratio and the signal needed at a cell edge. The CWDP quiz includes questions on controller discovery and antenna choice. Use the maps alongside the quizzes to revisit relevant configuration terms.

Explore deployment in the unit

The WLAN Deployment flashcards include a prompt about a clear radio-frequency line of sight between buildings and point-to-point or point-to-multipoint equipment. They offer another way to work with the deployment material after studying the maps and quizzes.

This topic is part of the Wireless Networking unit in Networks and telecommunications. Together, its resources let you move between connections, configuration questions and deployment examples within that unit. Choose a resource that fits what you want to practice and explore it at your own pace.
