The MAC address is the most basic address associated with the hardware (wether it is wireless or not).  It is usually hard coded in the adapter card although some can be changed.\n\nThis is not to be confused with the IP address which is speciffic to TCP/IP protocol and has nothing to do with the MAC address.

I don't expect to "win" as the best answer, but I have to stress to anyone that reads this - MAC Filtering is USELESS.\n\nThis was the second attempt to increase security on WLAN's (Wireless LANS).  The first attempt was to stop broadcasting the SSID in the Beacon Frames.\n\nOnce both of these mechanisms were defeated, good old WEP came out and now it's crackable in less than 5 minutes.\n\nAnyone with a free Wi-Fi Sniffer (very easy google search download) can listen to which MAC's are associated to the Access Point.  This SAME software will send constant dis-associate frames to the client using the AP's MAC address.\nOnce the client is dis-associated, the software will now let the intruder associate with the AP using the valid Client's MAC.\n\nAgain, completely useless, adds nothing but administrative overhead.\n\nFor consumer brand Access Points, change the default SSID to something unique, change the administration user id and password, and turn on WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key).\n\nAny Windows XP client can be easily configured to associate with the Accss Point simply knowing the SSID and the PSK.\n\nGood Luck :)

Short for wireless fidelity and is meant to be used generically when referring of any type of 802.11 network, whether 802.11b, 802.11a, dual-band, etc. The term is promulgated by the Wi-Fi Alliance. \n\nAny products tested and approved as "Wi-Fi Certified" (a registered trademark) by the Wi-Fi Alliance are certified as interoperable with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers. A user with a "Wi-Fi Certified" product can use any brand of access point with any other brand of client hardware that also is certified. Typically, however, any Wi-Fi product using the same radio frequency (for example, 2.4GHz for 802.11b or 11g, 5GHz for 802.11a) will work with any other, even if not "Wi-Fi Certified." \n\nFormerly, the term "Wi-Fi" was used only in place of the 2.4GHz 802.11b standard, in the same way that "Ethernet" is used in place of IEEE 802.3. The Alliance expanded the generic use of the term in an attempt to stop confusion about wireless LAN interoperability.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nWi-Fi: How it works\nThe typical Wi-Fi setup contains one or more Access Points (APs) and one or more clients. An AP broadcasts its SSID (Service Set Identifier, Network name) via packets that are called beacons, which are broadcasted every 100 ms. The beacons are transmitted at 1 Mbit/s, and are relatively short and therefore are not of influence on performance. Since 1 Mbit/s is the lowest rate of Wi-Fi it assures that the client who receives the beacon can communicate at at least 1 Mbit/s. Based on the settings (i.e. the SSID), the client may decide whether to connect to an AP. Also the firmware running on the client Wi-Fi card is of influence. Say two AP's of the same SSID are in range of the client, the firmware may decide based on signal strength to which of the two AP's it will connect. The Wi-Fi standard leaves connection criteria and roaming totally open to the client. This is a strength of Wi-Fi, but also means that one wireless adapter may perform substantially better than the other. In Windows XP, there is a feature called zero configuration which makes the user show any network available and let the end user connect to it on the fly. In the future, wireless cards will be more and more controlled by the operating system. Microsoft's newest feature called SoftMAC will take over from on-board firmware. Wi-Fi transmits in the air, it has the same properties as non-switched ethernet network. Even collisions can therefore appear like in non-switched ethernet LAN's.

wireless device use collision avoidance to solve the hidden terminal problem. Basically the sending station needs an ACK msg from the receive station before they can send the data, the ACK is broadcast from the receiving station so the neighbour know that the transmitting station is sending so they wouldn't be sending at that time.  802.11g is the wireless standard that combines both 802.11a and b, sending 54Mbps and can opearate at 2.4GHz range

It's the default SSN for a wireless router made by Belkin. It should be fine.

WiMAX is Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access.  There is a standard for fixed and nomadic locations called IEEE 802.16d-2004 and for mobile IEEE 802.16e-2005.  Mobile is define as moving up to 250 km per hour.\n\nSee the link below for the standard ...

Intel WiMAX Collaborations w/ Nokia, Motorola in 2005\nIn June, Nokia and Intel Corporation announced a cooperation to accelerate the development, adoption and deployment of (IEEE 802.16e) Areas of development include mobile clients, network infrastructure, industry-enabling efforts and market development. For mobile devices and notebook platforms, base station strategies to help deploy a WiMAX network infrastructure that will provide adequate and reliable coverage.\n\nMotorola Inc. and Intel Corporation announced on October, 2005, their plan to collaboratively adoption of mobile WiMAX based on the proposed IEEE 802.16e standard, for both fixed and wireless broadband applications. Interoperability testing of Motorola mobile devices, network equipment, and customer premises equipment with Intel products.\n\n==========================================\n\nThe current 802.16 standard is IEEE Std 802.16-2004, approved in June 2004. It renders the previous (and 1st) version 802.16-2001 obsolete, along with its amendments 802.16a and 802.16c.\n\nIEEE Std 802.16-2004 addresses only fixed systems. An amendment 802.16e is in the works which adds mobility components to the standard. This amendment is expected to be published in February 2006.\n\n802.16-2004 IEEE Standard for Local and metropolitan area networks Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless \n[edit]\nIEEE 802.16e\nIEEE 802.16-2005, approved December, 2005 (formerly named but still best known as 802.16e or Mobile WiMAX). The WiMAX mobility standard, is an improvement on the modulation schemes stipulated in the original (fixed) WiMAX standard. It allows for fixed wireless and mobile Non Line of Sight (NLOS) applications primarily by enhancing the OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access).\n\nMany think that by stipulating a new modulation method called Scalable OFDMA (SOFDMA), 802.16-2005 will make the older 802.16-2004 which uses OFDM-256 obsolete. However, several manufacturers plan for a migration path from the older version of the standard to the more robust, mobile modulation scheme. In any case, manufacturers are working through the WiMAX Forum to achieve compatibility between similar system profiles.\n\nSOFDMA will improve upon OFDM256 for NLOS applications by:\n\nImproving NLOS coverage by utilizing advanced antenna diversity schemes, and hybrid-Automatic Retransmission Request (hARQ) \nIncreasing system gain by use of denser sub-channelization, thereby improving indoor penetration \nIntroducing high-performance coding techniques such as Turbo Coding and Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC), enhancing security and NLOS performance \nIntroducing downlink sub-channelization, allowing administrators to trade coverage for capacity or vice versa \nImproving coverage by introducing Adaptive Antenna Systems (AAS) and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology \nEliminating channel bandwidth dependencies on sub-carrier spacing, allowing for equal performance under any RF channel spacing (1.25-14 MHz) \nEnhanced Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm can tolerate larger delay spreads, increasing resistance to multipath interference \nSOFDMA and OFDMA256 are not compatible so most equipment will have to be replaced. However, some manufacturers are attempting to provide a migration path for older equipment to OFDMA256 compatibility which would ease the transition for those networks which have already made the SOFDMA investment.
