摘要：Present days various inventions take place in science and technology for the fulfillment of users demands. In today’s world computer technology is on demand. In order to fulfill the demand of users 802.11wireless LAN standard developed by IEEE 802.11committee. Wireless networking is additional recent substitute to wired networking that relies on copper or fiber optic cabling. This paper will give the description about wireless LAN 802.11 standard. It will go in depth to what exactly wireless networking entails, how it works and advantages over wired network. With the help of this standard proper network is establish between different computers and transfer of information take place between devices at higher data rate without using wires within a local area. Users have the ability to transfer large files fastly, access the global network with high security, without having the need to attach network cables to ports that are connected to switches or hubs. Wireless network uses radio waves or microwaves for establish connection between different devices. This standard has recently become more and more popular due to its convenience and falling prices of hardware. This paper provide a detailed study of wireless LAN 802.11 standard, its different types and concerned issues.
