Computer Networking - Wired and Wireless Networks and Protocols

Q: What is the difference between wireless and wired networks?

Wireless networks use radio waves to connect devices, allowing for greater mobility, while wired networks use physical cables to transmit data, providing a more stable and typically faster connection.

Q: What is wired in networking?

In networking, ‘wired’ refers to the use of physical cables, such as ethernet cables, to connect devices and transmit data. Computer Networking - Wired and Wireless Networks and Protocols will introduce you to working in the field.

Q: What protocols do wired and wireless networks use?

Wired networks commonly use protocols such as Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) and TCP/IP to transmit data through physical cables. In contrast, wireless networks rely on protocols like Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) and Bluetooth to enable wireless communication between devices.
