Appendix B: Wireless Security
What Are The Risks?
Wireless-B Media Adapter
The solution, then, is to segment your network up into multiple groups. If your network had 80 users and you
used four WEP keys, a hacker would have access to only ¼ of your wireless network resources. In this way,
multiple keys reduce your liability.
Finally, be sure to change your WEP key regularly, once a week or once a day. Using a “dynamic” WEP key, rather
than one that is static, makes it even harder for a hacker to break into your network and steal your resources.
WEP Encryption
To enable WEP encryption for the Adapter, use the Setup Wizard. Refer to “Chapter 4: Setting up the Wireless-B
Media Adapter.”
Important: Always remember that each
device in your wireless network MUST use
the same WEP encryption method and
encryption key or your wireless network will
not function properly.
