Question

Access control is more of a problem for wired lans than for wireless lans.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer is false because usually a wired LAN tends to be less problematic than a wireless LAN. Not only does a wired LAN provide better efficiency and security than wireless but also it usually tends to have lesser fluctuations. For example, a wireless LAN can have problems with its portable battery, the strength of its Wi-Fi signals, radio-electric signal discrepancy. None of these issues exist in a wired setup.

Answer 2

false

Media access control methods allow computers to transmit signals over a network cable. This only ensures that one PC transmits at a time. A collision can occur especially in wired networks if two PCs place signals simultaneously on the wire. Collision Avoidance which is a feature of the MAC layer is not feasible in wireless environments.
