Overview of the Certified Wireless Network Administrator Exam
The CWNA-107 certification evaluates Network Engineers and Wireless Administrators on the foundational principles of IEEE 802.11 physical and MAC layer operations. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in RF mathematics, including signal propagation, interference patterns, and antenna theory across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Technical mastery includes 802.11ax, 802.11ac, and legacy PHY standards alongside complex frame types, roaming protocols, and QoS mechanisms. The curriculum requires deep understanding of site survey methodologies, spectrum analysis, security frameworks such as WPA3, 802.1X/EAP, and RADIUS integration. Furthermore, examinees must analyze WLAN architecture, controller-based topologies, troubleshooting link-layer throughput bottlenecks, and efficient capacity planning for high-density enterprise environments.
