Comparative Performance Evaluation of Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 A,G WEP PTP Links

Wireless communications using microwaves are increasingly important, such as Wi-Fi. Performance is a crucial issue, leading to more reliable and efficient communications. Security is equally important. Laboratory measurements are made about several performance aspects of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11a, g) WEP point-to-point links. A contribution is given to performance evaluation of this technology under WEP encryption, using two types of equipments (RBTR2 access points from Enterasys Networks; DAP-1522 access points from D-Link and WPC600N adapters from Linksys).
