v1.0, April 2008
There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:
•
Restrict access based on MAC address
. You can allow only trusted PCs to connect so that
unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the modem router. Restricting access by MAC
address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over
the wireless link is fully exposed.
•
Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name SSID
. If you disable broadcast of the
SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless network
discovery feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed.
•
WEP
. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared
Key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper.
This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK, and is
available as an option only if the wireless mode is restricted to 802.11b and 802.11g wireless
stations.
•
WPA-802.1x, WPA2-802.1x
.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with user authentication
implemented using IEE 802.1x and RADIUS servers. This option is available only if the
wireless mode is restricted to 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations.
•
WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES)
. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared
key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. The very strong
authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA makes it virtually impossible
to compromise.
