Modem/Router

Device composed, in a single unit, of an ADSL modem and a router allowing for the sharing of a high-speed Internet connection between several computers. A modem/router may be either "wired" (sharing only with computers connected via a cable) or WiFi (can also share with computers connected wirelessly via WiFi).

Router

Device allowing for the sharing of a high-speed Internet connection (via an ADSL or cable modem external to the router) between several computers. A router may be either "wired" (sharing only with computers connected via a cable) or WiFi (can also share with computers connected wirelessly via WiFi)).

WEP

Security protocol for wireless networks using encryption based on a fixed 64-bit or 128-bit key being used only once, at the beginning of the decryption phase. To decrypt a transmission, each client on the wireless network must use the same 64-bit or 128-bit key. WEP is part of the 802.11 standard, with the goal of ensuring authentication (access is only authorized for those who know the WEP key) and confidentiality (encryption). A WEP key is composed of numbers 0 to 9 and letters A to F (example: A123BCD45E).

WiFi

Technology allowing users to connect a variety of devices in a network, such as computers, game consoles, PDAs... without any wires. The main use is wireless sharing of a home high-speed Internet connection.

WPA

High level of security, specially designed for environments such as a small business or the home, using a pre-shared key.

WPA2

Next-generation very high level of security, specially designed for environments such as a small business or the home, using a pre-shared key.

Internet box

ADSL modem supplied by a high-speed Internet service provider to its clients.

MAC address

Unique identifier for each network device in the world.

MAC filtering

Process allowing the user to authorize or refuse access to a WiFi network based on a device’s MAC address.

802.11b

Earlier generation WiFi standard allowing for data rates of up to 11Mbps using the 2.4GHz frequency band.

802.11g

WiFi standard allowing for data rates of up to 54Mbps using the 2.4GHz frequency band.

Mbps

Unit of measurement of data rates in an Ethernet or WiFi network.

Firewall

Protection mechanism against malicious attacks via the Internet.

SPI / NAT

Two complementary mechanisms, allowing on the one hand for the analysis of data packets arriving via the Internet, and on the other hand for the masking of computers on a local area network with respect to the Internet.

DHCP

Protocol managing the allocation of IP addresses to computers in the same network (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

ESSID

Identifier from 8 to 32 characters, often abbreviated as SSID, serving as a unique name for a WiFi network shared by clients and the access point (Service Set Identifier).

PPPoA

Protocol allowing for connection to the Internet of computers connected in an ATM Network while at the same time authenticating the user (Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM).

PPPoE

Protocol allowing for connection to the Internet of computers connected in an Ethernet network via a high-speed modem (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet).
