Comptia Network + Wireless

Instructions:
  • Answer 29 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A technology based on radio waves connecting to designated areas referred to as cells






2. Wireless network that does not contain a wireless access point (WAP)






3. The ability of an antenna to focus or aim an electromagnetic signal in a particular direction






4. A spread spectrum technique that transmits data on multiple channels sequentially






5. A Bluetooth network






6. Interference that matches the frequency of the carrier wave






7. The band of radio frequencies associated with industrial - scientific - and medical devices






8. A transmission technique that uses multiple channels to transmit data either simultaneously or sequentially






9. A wireless networking device that provides a connection between a wireless network and a cable-based network and controls the data flow of all packets on the wireless network






10. A data encryption protocol that makes a wireless network as secure as a wired network






11. The time it takes data to be transmitted from the earth to a satellite
