Setting up and managing Wi-Fi routers, access points, and devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops typically involves the configuration of wireless devices and technologies. This course equips you to recognize important factors of physical installations and to select and configure wireless devices and technologies. First, you'll explore the purpose and key features of Wi-Fi channels and recognize their respective regulatory impacts. Then, you'll learn when to implement 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6GHz wireless frequencies and when to deploy service set identifiers (SSIDs) or extended service set identifiers (ESSIDs). Next, you'll discover different wireless network types including ad hoc, point-to-point, and infrastructure. Finally, you'll explore how to select and configure wireless devices and technologies for different scenarios. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) certification exam.
