Re: Linksys wireless network
I would assume (emphasis on "assume") that these devices are interacting with each other as bridged peers in your configuration which is set up with a common WPA key. If you sniff the traffic between these devices, your frame control information should indicate values of 1 in the "From DS" and "To DS" in the "DS status" flag fields.
That said, it doesn't seem to me on first review that your setup is insecure, although more information is needed as to which specific "encryption key" type is used, as well as other features that these new 802.11n devices permit. I know there are some potential security issues using 802.11n devices on networks using older 802.11 protocols, although I'm assuming they don't apply to your situation.
Ok, now that that's out of the way, does anyone else here have a more authoritative answer? I'd like to know myself since I might be setting up multiple radio heads in my network in the future (a root and non-root bridge to form a ESS that covers my entire house). |
