Same comment as the one I made above. WDS and ESSID are different things.

ESSID is the one that's worked from day one. WDS (4 address frames) took a bit longer to be properly comprehended by P802.11 and it is not something you want to use unless you need it. I remember an 802.1/11 summit in a plenary meeting where competing views of how to comprehend WDS in the 802.1 architecture were put forth.

WDS and ESSID are two different things.
ESSID is multiple APs on the same LAN allowing STAs to roam freely between them.
WDS is 4-address frames (normal frames have 3) to allow AP-AP communication.

Yes, this is right.

One reason for people buying Unifi APs rather than router/wifi combo boxes from any other vendor is that there don't seem to be many other vendors who sell straight up APs other that overpriced vendors like Cisco.

It was not like this in the past. The first APs were all APs.

>The downside is that you'll need a router to plug all these devices into.
Well a PoE ethernet switch. The router can be elsewhere.

Yes, Every AP does that. It's integral to the protocol. Two APs with the same SSID on the same ethernet form an ESSID.

Fair enough.

I don't have a middle name. What's suspicious about that?

If you want to count the length of the procedure from the time the entities at both end perform and evaluation, then fine. But that's skipping over the time for the entangled photons to get from hither to thon.

All this yields is a shared private key. Of course some one has already unrolled a reel of fiber optic from hither to thon. You could have just let them transport the key in their pocket.

You won't be able to refuel and listen to the radio at the same time.

Well you can, you just can't choose which message is sent, from the space of all possible messages sendable.

Bullshit. It is transmitted along the fiber optic cable, at a fraction of the speed of light in a vacuum, to yield the same random value at both ends. By being unpredictable, it meets the definition of information.

Quantum Key Distribution: More expensive and less practical that putting the key on a USB stick and driving it to the other end.

With a Toro-LOX boost stage for heavy loads.

>It uses Kerosene & LOX

Salmon propels rockets? I never knew.

Does it come with a real menu bar with file, edit and other proper menus? Or do I have to play "hunt the secret glyph" to unlock a menu?

I was only referring to humans who are guitarists who make use of the distortion characteristics of the circuitry between their guitar and the their speaker.
