2Introduction
2.1 What is WLAN?
WiFi refers to a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network),
the use of radio technology to network computers and
other devices. While it is possible to wirelessly connect
computers in pairs ("peer-to-peer", p2p), a central ac-
cess point is usually required to set up a network of
multiple devices. This turns a WiFi router into an access
point as well as a modem for Internet access and into
a router for acting as a go-between within the
network.
