Depends what you want to do with it. As George says, wireless is not remotely secure, so you should only run secured protocols, or irrelevant protocols over it. You must not plug a WAP directly into your internal firewalled LAN without taking substantial precautions. I have my WAP on a different network scope than my internal LAN, so *nothing* is visible to wireless clients unless I enable a service specifically. ie ; LAN scope 192.168.0.0/24 WAP scope 192.168.10.0/24 Now you may add IPs on the WAP scope to whatever services you want available to the WAP. Other hosts and services are invisible. This is far easier than firewalling everything. Both scopes run simultaneously on the same network cabling.
