The only problem with wireless networks is network vulnerability. A
wired network due to limited access to the physical security of the
actual network, and a port to the Internet (gateway) provides a firewall
or two there (or had better). This can block unauthorized access to your network more. The difficulty in implementing cable networks has discouraged many people from installing networks in the first place.
Then came a long wireless, which, as I mentioned earlier in the article, the game network home more attractive and less intimidating. With a wireless network means. Physical security, which is inevitable in a wired network, not only because everyone within range of your Wi-Fi network to see your network, and can, if not properly secured access. If your wireless access point is not the router on your network can slip behind your firewall from the outside. What happened in my college, it was an apartment complex behind a part of the school, and other technicians that someone grafted to the network. It has a wireless network is not secure, nobody did anything bad to him, she did used to access the Internet, but he never knew.
There are some practices to make sure that nobody should try with your connection or your network. First and foremost, you need to WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to implement, which is an encryption function that prevents unauthorized users from accessing your network. There are at least two types of encryption in 802.11b (128 and 64-bit) and have probably changed every two weeks or more. WEP encryption is used to well-being the responsibility of the user, but now I see the material of the box configured with at least one key, forcing the user to configure their PC to connect.
Is important with WEP wireless security, but not rely on them alone, there are other security measures that you can implement as well. Some wireless devices, you can set a MAC address filtering, witch can really spice up your security. A MAC address is an identification number that manufacturers stamp on a network device, and is (or should be) quite unique. If the security is in place, so if anyone knows the WEP key, they still can not enter the network, denied access because your wireless device.
There are two other things you want to do to simplify your network could be: The first thing you need to do is go through and change all default security settings and passwords. The reason I say this is the most routers and access points are usually filled with a lot of these configuration fields (eg username and password or SSID) with values generic for easy installation. The worst thing is that people can use these parameters for you to give access to your network. On the other hand, it is a set of routers your default SSID broadcast on, it means it sends the name of your physical length of your network. Not good, even if your neighbors can not access the security of your network, they will constantly whenever they start one of their wireless computers.
