Researchers at Brigham Young University have created a new RF protocol that runs on top of existing consumer Wi-Fi at significantly greater range. But before you get too excited, the protocol’s ...

At the moment, there are several mainstream WiFi protocols on the market. We have the 802.11n, 802.11ac (wave1, wave2), 802.11ax and so on. Such a naming method is quite difficult for laymen to ...

Forget 802.11ax. Say hello to Wi-Fi 6. The Wi-Fi Alliance announced that it will add generation numbers to its trademarked Wi-Fi name, which indicates a device meets its compatibility tests, rather ...

A major vulnerability has been discovered in the protocol governing basically all modern wi-fi routers. Here’s what we know so far. If you’ve set up a home wi-fi network, at some point you’ve ...

A group of researchers led by a BYU computer engineering professor has created a protocol that significantly extends the distance a Wi-Fi-enabled device can send and receive signals. The engineering ...

Since it was first introduced in 1997, the Wi-Fi protocol has changed from something that's slower than floppy disks into the backbone of people's home networking. It's done so whilst retaining the ...

As our digital world continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the demands for wireless connectivity have never been greater. This surge in need is giving rise to a transformation in the wireless ...

Connectivity is critical to virtually every aspect of our lives. From wearable devices to security systems and factory automation equipment, the ability to connect, monitor and control the enormous ...

Connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots can pose an element of risk, but the next generation of wireless security standard will make logging on to open networks a lot safer. The Wi-Fi Alliance has ...

Two security organizations have issued alerts warning of a flaw in wireless LAN equipment based on the 802.11b Wi-Fi standard that leaves the devices vulnerable to a denial-of-service (DoS) jamming ...

Apple appears to have tweaked its iPhone to support a Chinese security protocol for wireless networks, as companies increasingly adopt Chinese government-backed technologies to break into the ...

Researchers have disclosed a serious weakness in the WPA2 protocol that allows attackers within range of vulnerable device or access point to intercept passwords, e-mails, and other data presumed to ...
