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. Any standard not fully developed and adopted as an official standards recognized by IEEE






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






3. An electromagnetic wave of a set frequency that is used to carry data






4. 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






5. A technology based on radio waves connecting to designated areas referred to as cells






6. An orbit in which a satellite's rotational speed is synchronized with the aearth's rotational speed - making the satellite appear to stay in the same position relative to the Earth






7. Interference that matches the frequency of the carrier wave






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






9. Electromagnetic waves with a frequency range of 10 kHz to 3 -000 -000 MHz






10. A protocol that combines the wireless authentication method with encryption
