Chapter Review

Wireless is a popular protocol that has many benefits but a certain number of risks. Wireless offers local network access to anyone within range. The lack of physical control over the medium necessitates the careful configuration of the security features available. 802.11 has brought inexpensive wireless networking to homes and small businesses.
