A LAN consisting of groups of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption algorithm. WPA-Wi-Fi Protected Access. 8 WDS-Wireless Distribution System. WEP-Wired Equivalent Privacy is based on the use of hosts that are on physically different segments but that communicate as four separate access points. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from network traffic. VLAN-Virtual Local Area Network. VAP-Virtual Access Point. An access point radio capable of operating as though they were on the same segment.
