802.11 a/b/g/n-The collective name for the IEEE 802.11 standards for local wireless networking, which is the technical name for Wi-Fi.
AES-An encryption standard used by WPA2 and is currently the strongest encryption standard used by Wi-Fi.
Alternate IP address-When configuring TCP/IP in Windows, the static IP address that Windows uses if it cannot lease an IP address from a DHCP server.
Anycast address-Using TCP/IP version 6, a type of IP address used by routers and identifies multiple destinations. Packets are delivered to the closest destination.
Automatic Private IP Address-In TCP/ IP Version 4, IP address in the address range 169.254.x.y, used by a computer when it cannot successfully lease an IP address from a DHCP server.
Channel-A specific radio frequency within a broader frequency.
Class A-A license for a range of IPv4 IP addresses that defines a single octet, which is the network portion of the IP addresses in that license. The last three octets can be used for the host address or for subnetting the network.
Class B-A license for a range of IPv4 IP addresses that defines the first two octets, which is used for the network portion of the IP address. The last two octets can be used for the host address or for subnetting the network.
Class C-A license for a range of IPv4 IP addresses that defines the first three octets, which is used for the network portion of the IP address.
Classful subnet mask-In TCP/IP Version 4, the default subnet mask that is used if a network is not divided into subnets. It is called a classful subnet mask because the network portion of the IP address aligns with the class license. For example, 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 or 255.255.255.0 is the classful subnet mask for a Class C license.
Classless subnet mask-In TCP/IP Version 4, the subnet mask takes some bits of the host portion of the IP address for the network ID and does not align the network portion of the IP address with the network octets assigned by
AES-An encryption standard used by WPA2 and is currently the strongest encryption standard used by Wi-Fi.
