Q2. Design for a small business

2.1 A friend is interested in installing a wireless LAN in her small business. She has about a dozen employees. You are setting up an 802.11g wireless access point for her business. Your aggregate throughput is only about 6 Mbps. List at least two possible reasons for this low throughput.

2.2 Basing on your answer of 2.1, describe how you would test each.

2.3 Describe what you would do if each proved to be the problem.

2.4 Your friend is concerned about security for this wireless WLAN. Write a 1-page letter (400+ words) to explain what security threats she is facing and how she can reduce these threats. Remember that you are writing for a friend, not for a teacher. Use your own words. Do not copy and paste. Do not hand in disorganized notes.
