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 ...

A comparison of Wi-Fi HaLow with LoRaWAN. How Wi-Fi HaLow delivers the reach and energy efficiency to meet the demands of IoT applications. Released in 2015, LoRaWAN is described by the LoRa Alliance ...

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 team of Belgian researchers has discovered the vulnerability, which allows attackers to eavesdrop Wi-Fi traffic passing between computers and access points, reports ArsTechnica. The exploit is known ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wi-Fi 7 is poised to deliver 33Gbps wireless speeds. Routers supporting the new protocol could arrive as soon as 2023. Wi-Fi 7, the next generation Wi-Fi protocol, is nearly here and promises speeds ...
