M3 Report on the similarities and differences between securing wireless and wired
networked systems.
Differences between wireless and wired networked systems:
Wired Differences Wireless
Wired networks perform better Wireless networks perform bad due
because it has less interference to factors such as the number of
and has more stable network. By connected devices, signal range and
installing wired network such as Performance building features such as lifts. Wi-Fi
servers and routers helps to capabilities are improving with
avoid service disruption. modern advancements for example,
802.11ax.
Wired security is more secure A wireless security is less secure
compare to wireless networks. compare to a wired network. That is
That is because wired network is because wireless network is open
only accessible with a cable Security and broadcast outside the building
connection so public and so everyone can get access to Wi-Fi.
potential hackers will be less However, wireless networks can be
likely to get access to the secured from malicious attack with

WPA2 with 802.1X.
Wired network standard is IEEE Wireless network standards are IEEE
802.3 and it is a working Standards 802.11, 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g,

Wired routers use Ethernet ports Wireless router is a Wi-Fi connection
