WPA2 - a more secure version of WPA which provides “government grade”
security. There are two versions of WPA2 - Personal & Enterprise.

MAC ADDRESS (Media Access Control) Tthis is the ID of computers and other
network devices. It never changes and is assigned to the device when it is man-
ufactured. Each device has a unique address
NET MASK ADDRESS - Bundled with an IP address there is always a “Netmask”
value. The Netmask, together with the IP address, defines the network the com-
puter belongs to, that is which other IP addresses the computer can touch di-
rectly in the same LAN. For 99% of applications you don’t have to deal with this.
This parameter in the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi is reserved for advanced IT personnel.
PORT - Every IP address is divided up into many ports for different functions.
When one computer sends data to another computer, it sends it from a port
on an IP address to a port on an IP address. A port can only be used by one
program at a time. The protocol used for the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi’s web pages is
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
PORT FORWARDING - Port forwarding allows remote computers, for example,
computers on the Internet, to connect to a specific computer or device within a
private local area network (LAN).
ROUTER – This is the device that manages and connects your local network to
the internet. It may have a built in cable modem or you may have an external
cable modem that connects to your ISP. It manages all of the local traffic on
your network and also determines how data is passed back and forth between
your local network and the internet.
SSID – (Service Set Identifier) is the name that identifies an 802.11 wireless LAN.
