AP Power difference between WEP and WPA

Can someone tell me what to look for? I have two SSIDs on an AP: one is WEP and the other is WPA.
I have 5 bars on WEP ssid, but only 2 on the WPA side and eventually down to one.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Actually your are getting the same signal from both SSID's.
The reason that your are getting 5 bars in one and 2 in the other depands on the OS wireless uitlity.
If you will use a wireless sniffer you could see the RSSI reading in the frame header.
Cheers.

  • Difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA2 and better suggestion to use for shared family users

    What is the difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA2? My router is set up on my family PC and connected to a modem so I access Wi-fi through my laptop and my sister has a laptop too and uses our family network to get internet. I just set up a WPA today, so will we all be able to get internet (along with my family using the pc, and my sis on her laptop, even at the same time) protected? (like nobody else using our network)

    Wired Equivalent Privacy, commonly called WEP is 802.11's first hardware form of security where both the WAP and the user are configured with an encryption key of either 64 bits or 128 bits in HEX. So when the user attempts to authenticate, the AP issues a random challenge. The user then returns the challenge, encrypted with the key. The AP decrypts this challenge and if it matches the original the client is authenticated. The problem with WEP is that the key is static, which means with a little time and the right tool a hacker could use reverse-engineering to derive the encryption key. It is important to note that this process does affect the transmission speed.
    WPA builds upon WEP, making it more secure by adding extra security algorithms and mechanisms to fight intrusion.
    WiFi Protected Access (WPA) is the new security standard adopted by the WiFi Alliance consortium. WiFi compliance ensures interoperability between different manufacturer’s equipment.WPA delivers a level of security way beyond anything that WEP can offer, bridges the gap between WEP and 802.11i networks, and has the advantage that the firmware in older equipment may be upgradeable.
    WPA2 is based upon the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ (IEEE) 802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard, which was ratified on July 29, 2004. The primary difference between WPA and WPA2 is that WPA2 uses a more advanced encryption technique called AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), allowing for compliance with FIPS140-2 government security requirements. 

  • Is there a difference between Thrive and Excite power connector

    Is there a difference between Thrive and Excite power connector? I am asking because there are a lot of Docks for Thrive 10" tablets....... If the power connector is the same, I should be able to dock my Excite 10" onto the same Dock, and purchase a similar poer adapter?
    What are your thoughts - is it possible?

    As far as I know AC adapter for Thrive uses 30W and Excite only 10W AC adapter.
    Have you checked specification for both devices.

  • Differences between M30 and M40 /Power management

    Hi!
    I own a M30x and have a problem with the power management utility run by restricted users. (XP Prof/SP2 - Toshiba Power Management Utility 1.27.2.1.
    A restricted User cannot access the tool and the notebook runs in full power mode whether it has power supply or accu-supply.
    In this forum i read that m40's latest power saving tool can be accessed by a restricted user.
    So, the question is clear: What's the difference between m30 and m40 notebooks? Can I use m40's power saver on my m30 without causing troubles?
    TIA,
    Georg

    Hello Georg
    As far as I know the tools and utilities are not the same for every notebook model or series. The notebooks have different hardware configuration and every tool is designed to work properly with own series.
    Optical they are all the same or resemble but I am pretty sure that you can have problems using tool on your unit designed for another notebook model.

    thanks A LOT Aaron,that is some comfort but Please tell me a few notable enhancement, i had a look at intel site but it could not tell any a mjor difference i wonder if you can, many thanks
    Some of the differences are:
    Die shrink from 65nm to 45nm; it is more energy efficient (i.e. it should use less power); it has a larger level 2 cache and it should run a little cooler then the E6000 series.  Also reviewers have said that they are running about 5 to 15% faster clock for clock compared to the E6000 series. 
    Downside right now is that they are in short supply and priced higher then expected because of it.

  • What's the difference between Main ( ) and Main { } ?

    I have been searching around, but still no luck finding the difference between Main ( ) and Main { }. I found that java uses ( ), and javafx uses { }. But in javafx I can still use ( ). Is there different meaning?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure what you mean, but I will take a guess.
    Remember just one thing:
    1) You can easily instantiate a class to an object in JAVAFX using a JAVA or JAVAFX class, but in JAVA you can only instantiate JAVA objects.
    (Not completely true. If you really want a headache then you can instantiate JAVAFX classes in JAVA, but it is not easy.)
    Let me give you the following class that contains some variable:
    JAVA
    class MainJava {
         int     blaInt;
         long    blaLong;
         String  someString;
         String  anotherString = "(First Bicycle) Look mom no Hands... Look Mom no teeth.";
         public MainJava() {
             // Before this contructor runs all variables will first be initializes to their default values or whatever you put in them above
             // Construct things :)
         } // END CONSTRUCTOR for MainJava
    } // END CLASS MainJavaJAVAFX
    class MainJavaFx {
         var     blaInt : Integer;
         var     blaLong : java.lang.Long; // The most usefull number made difficult in JAVAFX :(
         var     someString : String;
         var     anotherString = "(First Bicycle) Look mom no Hands... Look Mom no teeth."; // Thats nice. No need for a type :) Heaven ... I'm in Heaven
         init {
             // Before this contructor runs all variables will first be initializes to their default values or whatever you put in them above
             // Construct things :)
         } // END CONSTRUCTOR for MainJava
    } // END CLASS MainJavaFxThese 2 classes are affectively the same.
    One written in Java and one in JAVAFX.
    You already seem to know JAVA so I am going to talk in JAVAFX code from now on.
    1) To instantiate a JAVA class in JAVAFX is the same as in JAVA.
      var myNewObj = new MainJava();2) To instantiate a JAVAFX class in JAVAFX you do the following.
      var myNewObj = MainJavaFx{}; // Weeeee .. easy hey :) I likeThink of init{} as the contractor of the class in JAVAFX, because there is no more constructors in JAVAFX like in JAVA.
    Also in JAVA you can pass parameters to the class constructor, whereas in JAVAFX that is not possible anymore.
    So sad, but what JAVAFX taketh away ... JAVAFX giveth so muchth moreth ... th...
    Now witness the power of ... JAVAFX ...
    In JAVAFX you can instantiate any "var" variables when you create the object from the class.
    Therefore you do not need to pass parameters to the init constructor, most of the time you do not even need init.
    So lets say you want to give the class variable other default values in the JAVAFX class then you can do it like this:
      var myNewObj = MainJavaFx{ 
                                                   blaLong : java.lang.System.currentTimeMillis()
                                                   blaInt : 1234
                                                   someString : "Going to the Hospital I see"
                                                   anotherString : "Thorry Mom."
                                          }; // Weeeee .. easy hey :) I likeNow isn't that nice.
    Keep in mind that the init{} and postinit{} code blocks will only run if they exist after the object is created and therefore the variables will already be changed to the values you have given them when you instantiated the class.
    Cool hey :)
    You can not do that to a JAVA object, but then again if you need to change the class variables of a JAVA object then just create a constructor that takes paramaters and update the class variables in the constructor.

  • Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in USA? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards? Thanks

    Hi, I'm from the UK and in the USA for a week. I'm thinking of purchasing an Air. Would there be a problem with the warranty in the UK if bought in the US? Plus is there a big difference between US and UK keyboards?
    Cheers
    G

    There are subtle differences on a British layout, mainly having to do with the top line (shift numbers), to permit the use of European monetary symbols. There are a few other keys different (note the enter key).
    Here are the basic layouts. Obviously the MBA won't have an eject key, as the power key resides in that location.

  • What are differences between Java and C#

    What are differences between Java and C#?
    I was looking at C# and it looks very similar to java, does anyone have any input on what the primary differences are?

    C# has ventricles, being a more modern, hip,and
    stylin language.Yeah, but it can't use them properly unless youbolt
    on an after-market turbo charger and paint some
    go-faster stripes.
    Java doesn't need ventricles, as the language is
    built as a bifurcative scrobbidibbit from theground
    up.
    And here I thought you were smart.The ventricles add power on the backswing and keep
    down the humpty-B count, and those stripes don't
    really do much except to impress the PHBs. A
    ventricle here and there wouldn't do Java anyharm.
    Oh, I see.
    I didn't realize you were concerned with humpty-B. So
    I suppose you put 17 firewalls in front of your VM's
    Jeffries tubes too huh? And measure productivity in
    fleems per wonkle?
    That may have worked back when you carved FORTRAN on
    stone tablets, and then went to look for a nice young
    lady to club and take home. But modern software
    development techniques demand a focus on the
    regressive thromboid paradigm, and ventricles only
    get in the way when you're trying to calibrate that
    against the latest fractal suppository data.At least I have actual experience in carving FORTRAN on stone tablets, so I know what I'm talking about. (The clubbing was the other way around but that's neither here nor there.) As for your regressive thromboid paradigm, regressive is exactly what it is. Progressive paradigms, whether thromboid or rhomboid, require ventriculation to achieve their maximum potential.
    And I suppose if you're still using those Jeffries tubes in your VM, it's not surprising that it's humptied to the max. Try installing Apache Fallopian if you really want to dehumptify it, or Apache Eustachian for 64-bit VMs.

  • Difference between Null and null?

    What is the difference between null and NULL?
    When is each used?
    Thanks,

    veryConfused wrote:
    There is a null in java, but no NULL. null means no value. However, when assigning value, the following is different:Although the empty String has no special role. Null means, the referential type is not assigned (doesn't refer) to a specific object. The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
             exporting
                  filename                = filename
                  filetype                = 'ASC'

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
    SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
    2 from user_tab_columns
    3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
    4 /
    TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
    TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2

    Thanks,

    Hi,
    They are both used for 10Gig interfaces.  The difference is the connector type.
    SFP+ is LC and X2 is SC.
    You can not put an SFP+ into an X2 slot or X2 optic into a SFP+.

  • Difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Can any one tell me the difference between ok_code and sy-ucomm

    Hi,
    Actually OK_CODE and SY-Ucomm are the same. But experts suggest use of OK code for following reason:
    In each PAI event that a user triggers by choosing either a pushbutton on the screen or an element in a GUI status, the corresponding function code is placed into the system field SYST-UCOMM or SY-UCOMM and placed in the OK_CODE field (as long as the function code is not empty). Empty function codes are placed in neither the SY-UCOMM field nor the OK_CODE field.
    In your ABAP programs, you should work with the OK_CODE field instead of SY-UCOMM. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, the ABAP program has full control over fields declared within it, and secondly, you should never change the value of an ABAP system field. However, you should also always initialize the OK_CODE field in an ABAP program for the following reason:
    In the same way that the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program and the system field SY-UCOMM receive the contents of the corresponding screen fields in the PAI event, their contents are also assigned to the OK_CODE screen field and system field SYST-UCOMM in the PBO event. Therefore, you must clear the OK_CODE field in the ABAP program to ensure that the function code of a screen is not already filled in the PBO event with an unwanted value. This is particularly important when the next PAI event can be triggered with an empty function code (for example, using ENTER). Empty function codes do not affect SY-UCOMM or the OK_CODE field, and consequently, the old field contents are transported.
