[WISPA] Winbox

Since winbox came up lately, How secure is the winbox protocol (assuming you have a great password)? Is it safe enough to open up to the outside world, or would I be asking to get hacked? Jason ** Join us

You have the option on the Winbox GUI itself to use secure password if you put a check in the box. Mac -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2007 11:06 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Winbox

Re: [WISPA] Winbox

Yes, but is the link encrypted or can anyone packet-sniff what you're doing? Have there been previous security breeches in winbox? Mac Dearman wrote: You have the option on the Winbox GUI itself to use "secure password" if you put a check in the box. Mac -Original

RE: [WISPA] Winbox

The application never asks for a secure certificate; so one would need to assume that the link is not encrypted and can be seen through a packet sniff. Also the port it uses is just a standard TCP port; maybe the exchange between winbox challenge and response is the only thing encrypted Not

[WISPA] You're all going to lose ( I hope not)

I've been looking through a LOT of wisp and supposed wisp websites at service pricing / traffic levels. Are you all NOT in competition areas where the iLECs are dishing out 5mbps/768kbps DSL everywhere you look ? I am, and now combine that with Cable modems @ a MINIMUM of 10mbps down and 2 mbps

Re: [WISPA] You're all going to lose ( I hope not)

I've been saying this for a long time, but no one really cares to listen. They're all happy with 768kb service. The only way I can see doing it now is if you can use 5 gig and are using DFS2 gear. Mikrotik and StarOS are the only systems that can put enough throughput in the air to be able

RE: [WISPA] You're all going to lose ( I hope not)

We have over 2500 wireless clients, and we are in direct competition with Cable and DSL. We have customers switch over to our higher priced lower limits every day because we can provide SERVICE that the cable/telcos can't provide. We average 85 install per month, and we don't have any big

Re: [WISPA] You're all going to lose ( I hope not)

I really wish I had the type of cocmpetition you guys do. In the past couple years I have never seen a cable modem go below its advertised speed. I've seen many people pull over 25 megs. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com - Original Message -

RE: [WISPA] You're all going to lose ( I hope not)

Mike, I have to admit that we are in a retarded State to start with - Louisiana. We do compete with DSL in area's, but the majority (like 95%) of the area we offer internet access there is no other alternative - - short of another WISP. The towns that we do offer our service in and there is DSL

Re: [WISPA] You're all going to lose ( I hope not)

Hi, We have DSL, Cable, licensed 2.5ghz wireless providers and several other WISP's in our areas. We are the most expensive out of all of them (512k = $39.95 per month). However, we offer a real, static IP address for every customer. We offer a free firewall/wireless router during the

Re: [WISPA] You're all going to lose ( I hope not)

Here in Midwest Kansas the competition is surprisingly tough. The ATT's out there continue to escalate speeds and drop pricing...however, we continue to kill the competition with our local flavor of services. People here in the rural settings tend to buy into the we are the local guys more

Without knowing more about your environment I'd agree with Marlon (gawd, did I just say that? ;) I would really look at running something closer to 30-50 customers per CPE in 802.11b even if you are running low bandwidth plans. I currently don't have that luxury as I'm topping out at 50-60

Hi, During business hours (7:00AM to 5:30PM) we throttle p2p traffic on our entire backbone to 5meg up, 5meg down. Outside of those hours, we let everyone run wide open with whatever speed they purchase. In fact, we have a guy that purchased a dedicated point to point 2.5meg connection from

Re: [WISPA] You're all going to lose ( I hope not)

That's pretty good pricing considering you charge $80/meg on a standard account and he is getting $100/meg on a dedicated connection. I suppose it is pretty economical if you get him to cover the equipment costs on both ends and you are getting your BW at a reasonable price less than that.
