How Do I Deploy a Wireless LAN?
Wireless Network Security
Slide 4 of 5
Security is critical for your wireless network, even more so in some respects than with a wired network due to the threat of Wi-Fi eavesdroppers and hackers. Whether your wireless LAN will be deployed in your home or business, an integrated security policy that accommodates all of your users, computers and data on both the wireless and wired networks should be planned and implemented prior to deploying your wireless network. User authentication, proper authorization of access point and network interface cards, data encryption (WEP or WPA/WPA2), personal firewalls on computers and other security safeguards all need to be researched and addressed as part of implementing your network security policy.
