  2. Wireless network interface controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_network_interface...

    A Bluetooth interface card. A wireless network interface controller ( WNIC) is a network interface controller which connects to a wireless network, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or LTE (4G) or 5G rather than a wired network, such as an Ethernet network. A WNIC, just like other NICs, works on the layers 1 and 2 of the OSI model and uses an antenna ...

  3. IEEE 802.11 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11

    Authentication frame: 802.11 authentication begins with the wireless network interface controller (WNIC) sending an authentication frame to the access point containing its identity. When open system authentication is being used, the WNIC sends only a single authentication frame, and the access point responds with an authentication frame of its ...

  4. Network interface controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_interface_controller

    A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, network adapter, LAN adapter and physical network interface) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network. Early network interface controllers were commonly implemented on expansion cards that plugged into a computer bus.

  5. Promiscuous mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuous_mode

    In computer networking, promiscuous mode is a mode for a wired network interface controller (NIC) or wireless network interface controller (WNIC) that causes the controller to pass all traffic it receives to the central processing unit (CPU) rather than passing only the frames that the controller is specifically programmed to receive.

  6. Monitor mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_mode

    Monitor mode, or RFMON (Radio Frequency MONitor) mode, allows a computer with a wireless network interface controller (WNIC) to monitor all traffic received on a wireless channel. Unlike promiscuous mode, which is also used for packet sniffing, monitor mode allows packets to be captured without having to associate with an access point or ad hoc ...

  7. Wireless repeater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_repeater

    A wireless repeater (also called wireless range extender or wifi extender) is a device that takes an existing signal from a wireless router or wireless access point and rebroadcasts it to create a second network. When two or more hosts have to be connected with one another over the IEEE 802.11 protocol and the distance is too long for a direct ...

  8. WNIC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WNIC

    WNIC (100.3 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Dearborn, Michigan, and serving the Metro Detroit media market. Owned by iHeartMedia , WNIC broadcasts an adult contemporary radio format . Each year, usually on the first Friday of November, WNIC switches its format to all- Christmas music .

  9. Service set (802.11 network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_set_(802.11_network)

    A mesh basic service set ( MBSS) is a self-contained network of mesh stations that share a mesh profile, defined in 802.11s. [9] Each node may also be an access point hosting its own basic service set, for example using the mesh BSS to provide Internet access for local users. In such a system, the BSS created by the access point is distinct ...
