Wi-Fi Word of the Day (WOTD)

This is a sample definition for a sample word. Words of the Day are selected from the Words of the Day section.

Preauthentication (WF)

- used to speed up association transfer. Authentication can often cause a lag between the time a station decides to move to a new AP and the time that the frames start flowing through that AP. Preauthentication attempts to reduce the time by getting the time-consuming authentication relationship established before it is needed. Typically refers to IEEE 802.1x authentication rather than IEEE 802.11 authentication.
Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.
