Protecting Your Wireless
« on: August 19, 2005, 09:58:24 pm »
I suppose this would be the proper location as is IT. Anyways what would be some of the ways you can tell and or keep your wireless connection from being stolen. Where I am I dont need to worry. But what if. Always a good thing to know.

Turning on WEP is good, as is turning off SSID broadcasting.

The problem I see is that wep is horribly weak - it only keeps people from automatically connecting to your network.  802.1x and others have some promise, but they're not completely implemented, particularly on wireless.
