Security Settings
On no account should you use
Open System
or
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
set-
tings
,
whether out of convenience or in order to avoid configuration problems, unless
of course you want to start up an Internet Cafe!
•
Activate the
Wifi Protected Access (WPA)
option.
•
Under
Type
select the “WPA v.1”setting. If you are running the Microsoft Windows
XP operating system from ServicePack2 or higher on your computer, you can use
the “WPA v.2” setting.
•
For standard operation select the
Pre-Shared Key
option. Enter a password in the
Value
input field and leave it set to
Text
. Use a password with the following char-
acteristics:
– No words or names that can be found in a dictionary
– At least 8 characters long
– It should also include numbers, a mixture of upper and lower case and special
characters
You could also use the
Generate
button
to generate a password. Some WLAN con-
figuration software does not convert text into hexadecimal values as a standard
procedure. If this is the case, go to the
Hex Value
setting and select the
Generate
button.
•
Leave the
Cipher Length
setting at 256 Bit and the
Distribution Interval
setting
at 120 seconds. You will not usually need the settings for
WME
or for configuring
Multiple SSIDs
for standard operation.
Tip:
If you are running an Internet-Cafe without using powerful en-
cryption, you should, for the sake of your customers’ security,
prevent them from being able to access each others’ computers.
Activate the
BSS Isolation
option. You can also stop unpleasant
guests from using the system with a
MAC Address Filter
– but
this will not hold up users who know about this function for long.
