An Overview Of Wi-Fi Components & Architectures

Implementing a Wi-Fi network requires a clear understanding of its main components, their roles, and how they work together. This course introduces the key elements of wireless networking, including Wi-Fi access points and wireless controllers. Learners will understand the function of each component and how they support wireless connectivity, management, and network performance. The course also explains different types of Wi-Fi architectures from a Cisco perspective, helping learners understand how wireless networks can be designed, deployed, and managed in different environments.

Course Instructor

Keith started his networking career as customer service representative at Cisco Systems in 1996. His desire to learn more soon led him to a position as a Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineer on the “Dial-Access” team, and within six months he had obtained his Dial-ISP CCIE. He later became a network consulting engineer and obtained his CCNA certification while teaching the technologies to Cisco employees during his lunch breaks. Keith was the first instructor on Cisco’s TAC Training team, where he taught a wide range of internetworking topics and later developed and taught other courses such as routing protocols, LAN switching, MPLS, 802.1x, and CCNA. After almost 17 years with Cisco, Keith joined a small startup and focused on 802.11 Wi-Fi technologies, during which time he obtained his CWNA certification. He is now very happy to be working as an instructor for Routing & Switching. Keith lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, son, and daughter. When he is not teaching Bootcamps, Keith can be found at home with his family, reading, or working in the yard.
