It appears that Affinegy (http://www.affinegy.com) has an interesting automated solution to lock down the security in a home Wi-Fi network. . . . j o n a t h a n -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Smith Sent: Monday, January 01, 2007 10:14 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: How to secure WiFi networks was RE: [WISPA] recommendation With all this discussion, I've not done it in a while for clients - is there a website somewhere that details all the methods for A/P and CPE security ?

RE: How to secure WiFi networks was RE: [WISPA] recommendation
WEP is easily broken. The much stronger WPA2 (WPA2/AES) is a simple setup. For personal/home use just use a pre shared key (PSK) which is just a shared password. Unlike WEP, with WPA2 there is no fixed or hard to remember HEX code. Just pick a good shared password for home/personal use. Just use the same password in your PC and AP. Win XP is simple to setup with WPA2, see the XP Advanced tab for the wireless interface.
