>>> Nathan Hay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/25/2007 9:25 AM >>> We've been running our main SSID without encryption to make it easier for students to connect and to make life easier for our help desk. Not surprisingly we've started to have problems with students sniffing packets and capturing the IM passwords, etc of other students. Because of this, we are working on a plan to make our main SSID encrypted by the start of next school year. Does anyone have a recommended scheme for encryption that supports a wide variety of clients? We have Windows, Mac, Linux, Nintendo Wii, and many different types of handheld devices on campus. Our wireless network is Meru. We don't have any 802.1x experience, but we are willing to learn if that is where we need to head. We'd like a scheme that makes it as easy for the client to connect as possible, but still provides a good level of security. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated, Nathan Nathan P.
