Could you answer this question for me?

My girlfriend has an assignment and asked me to look up the answer to this question, and I really don't know very much about it, or how to search for it on Google.

If someone could tell me either, it would really help me out. The question is in three parts.

QUESTION 2 [50 marks]

Assume a restaurant has two ISPs providing Wi-Fi access for its customers, with each ISP operating its own AP and having its own IP address block.

a) If each ISP has configured its AP to operate over channel 11, what will happen to the 802.11 protocol? [15 marks]

b) Discuss what happens when two stations, each associated with a different ISP, attempt to transmit at the same time. [15 marks]

c) If one AP operates over channel 11 and the other over channel 1, calculate the transmission rate for the two ISPs for 802.11b protocol. [20 marks]

a) If each ISP has configured its AP to operate over channel 11, what will happen to the 802.11 protocol? [15 marks]

Nothing will happen with 802.11 protocol . But your wireless connection lose the speed and range.


b) Discuss what happens when two stations, each associated with a different ISP, attempt to transmit at the same time. [15 marks]

Nothing wrong will happen, if your APs operate in different channel and distance betwen channels will be no less than 3 channels (I mean you have to use 1,5 or 2,6 channels, or, as you write below - 1 and 11 channels)


c) If one AP operates over channel 11 and the other over channel 1, calculate the transmission rate for the two ISPs for 802.11b protocol. [20 marks][/quote]

You can see your APs' transmittion rate by the its embedded software. You just have to see statistics options or something equall in this way.
