They do it so if you're stupid enough to use WEP (or no) encryption then anyone freeloading on your wireless connection can't get to your wired PCs and, if it supports individual station isolation, your wireless laptop as well. They'll get out to the internet and that's it.
I have a separate SSID for guests which I keep isolated from all the stations on my main network as well so at least if they have any viruses, trojans, etc. it's not going to affect any of my gear! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paulster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95423 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
