Video description

In this Wireless Networking Fundamentals training course, expert author Mark Long will teach you the basics of understanding how wireless networks behave and misbehave, as well as the technologies needed for better network design and implementation. This course is designed for users that are already familiar with wireless networks.

You will start by learning about wireless basics, including how wireless works, wireless components, and measuring wireless power. From there, Mark will teach you about RF behaviors, wireless signalling, and signal transmission. This video tutorial also covers wireless LANs, wireless security fundamentals, and WLAN design and threats. Finally, you will learn about WLAN troubleshooting, including SNR issues, hidden node obstruction, and full power transmission.

Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have gained a solid understanding of how radio frequency signalling will allow for better network design and implementation.
