Have you secured your wireless network with encryption andaccess control lists?With the help of 802.11i, WPA or WEP, you can encrypt the data in yourwireless network with different encryption methods such as AES, TKIP orWEP. LANCOM Systems recommends the strongest possible encryptionwith 802.11i and AES. If the WLAN client adapters do not support these,then you should use TKIP or at least WEP. Make sure that the encryptionfunction in your device is activated, and that at least one passphrase orWEP key has been entered and selected for application. For security reasons, LANCOM Systems strongly advises you not to useWEP! You should only ever use WEP under exceptional circumstances.When using WEP encryption, use additional security mechanismsadditionally.To check encryption settings, open LANconfig, go to the configurationarea and select ‘Wireless LAN’ on the '802.11i/WEP' tab to view the set-tings for the logical WLAN interfaces.
