The wireless mode of communication uses a medium that is open and less private, and this information may be accessed by third parties not intended easily. On this note, the designers of the WLAN have incorporated a method for encrypting the data transfer. This is not the case on the wired LANs as security is highly enhanced given that the medium is not open. The main encryption method used is the wired equivalent privacy, and its main aim is to secure the wireless network of the computers. Using the encryption, it becomes difficult for third parties who try accessing network.
In the infrastructure mode, one of the stations acts as the hub access point. Notably, the nodes communicate through the hub. It should also be noted that the hub has wired networks or have a fiber network and at the same time a permanent wireless connection to the nodes in the network. The local area network LAN as a home network that will not require cables to be connected to the network.
On this note, it can be derived that wireless LAN denote the local area transmission by the use of internet whereby the transmission is through the radio waves. Notably, the distribution is through radio frequency waves that have an access point on the internet.
