1. All wireless signals are carried through the air by electromagnetic waves. 2. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup PIN can be easily cracked through a  brute force attack. 3. Diffraction has what effect on a wireless signal's propagation? It causes it to spread out and bend around obstacles in its path. 4. How does refraction affect the propagation of a wireless transmission? It distorts the signal as it travels into and through a different transmission medium. 5. What type of device can be used to assess the quality of a wireless signal? Spectrum analyzer 6. A client has a wireless profile configured for the "campus" SSID, but the access point is broadcasting the "CAMPUS" SSID. Can the client connect to the network? Why or why not? No, the client cannot connect to the network. 7. Access points that use overlapping channels can cause interference and reduce network speeds with each other if they are too close.   8. Why should the WPS PIN feature be avoided if possible? An attacker within radio range can brute-force the WPS PIN for a vulnerable access point. 9. Network segmentation at Layer 2 of the OSI model is accomplished using VLANs . 10. In order to identify the transmissions that belong to each VLAN, a switch will add a tag to Ethernet frames that identifies the port through which they arrive at the switch.
