    [13] [n 1] A null SSID (the SSID element's length field is set to zero [11]) is called a wildcard SSID in IEEE 802.11 standards documents, [14] and as a no broadcast SSID or hidden SSID in the context of beacon announcements, [13] [15] and can be used, for example, in enterprise and mesh networks to steer a client to a particular (e.g. less ...

    Honeypot (computing) involves setting up a computer on a network just to see who comes along and does something on the open access point. Disabling SSID broadcasts has been recommended in the past as a security measure, although it only hides networks superficially. MAC addresses of routers are still broadcast, and can be detected using special ...

    When users chooses to hide the network name from the router's setup page, it will only set the SSID in the beacon frame to null, but there are four other ways that the SSID is transmitted. In fact, hiding broadcast of the SSID on the router may cause the Network interface controller (NIC) to constantly disclose the SSID, even when out of range. [2]

    To connect to a Wi-Fi LAN, a computer must be equipped with a wireless network interface controller. The combination of a computer and an interface controller is called a station. Stations are identified by one or more MAC addresses. Wi-Fi nodes often operate in infrastructure mode in which all communications go through a base station.

    Some devices with dual-band wireless network connectivity do not allow the user to select the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band (or even a particular radio or SSID) when using Wi-Fi Protected Setup, unless the wireless access point has separate WPS button for each band or radio; however, a number of later wireless routers with multiple frequency bands and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address

    In Internet Protocol version 4 networks, broadcast addresses are special values in the host-identification part of an IP address. The all-ones value was established as the standard broadcast address for networks that support broadcast. [1] This method of using the all-ones address was first proposed by R. Gurwitz and R. Hinden in 1982. [2]

    The 802.11-2007 standard adds 10 MHz and 5 MHz OFDM modes to the 802.11a standard, and extend the time of cyclic prefix protection from 0.8 μs to 3.2 μs, quadrupling the multipath distortion protection. Some commonly available 802.11a/g chipsets support the OFDM 'half-clocking' and 'quarter-clocking' that is in the 2007 standard, and 4.9 GHz ...
