I don't run PSK, but I might set one up just to try this service.]]></description>

<title>Range for Linksys WRT54GL?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23438586</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have this Linksys router and wondering what the range is.  Specifically, how many neighbors could potentially see my router.  I have WPA2 security and a pretty strong passcode set up plus MAC filtering so I'm not really concerned about someone connecting.  With my laptop I can see 2 or 3 2WIRE networks which I'm told are ATT.  The lots in my sub are all 100' wide by 150' deep.  The router is about 6" above ground level.]]></description>

<title>Hotspot solution needed</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23428127</link>
<description><![CDATA[This gets asked a lot, but everyone has different requirements. We're setting up a wireless hotspot for a small bar & grill and need to spec hardware and/or software to do the job.  Some basic requirements:

 It will be free, but for public access we want to have daily, rotating passwords, just to keep the freeloaders somewhat off balance.  Ideally the passwords would be generated automatically at random and could be easily found, say on a web page or else sent out via email.

 In addition to the rotating passwords, we need to have permanent passwords for employees and any fixed wireless clients on the network.

 Security.  All traffic between clients on the wifi network must be blocked.  There should be no possibility of accessing another computer on the wifi network.

<title>Compromised Wireless Network?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23374318</link>
<description><![CDATA[Have a sneeking suspicion that someone has been pilfering my internet download capacity. Blown 20GB download limit within 2 weeks even with free download feature from midnight to 8am. Not likely!! Also been getting a bubble saying that my network is "unsecured". Laptop is running Xp that is all up to date with patches.

Downloaded ZANZOM network monitoring tool (anyone heard of this?) and found 6 other machines on my network. Changed the security password on my router but my laptop can still connect even with the old network password.  

When I try to change the wireless network password on the laptop I get some other funnies happen. If I check the WPA2 option I can't update the password. When I use the WPA-PSK I can change the password but when I click OK it reverts back to the old password. The funny thing is that the laptop is still on the network despite having the wrong security password. 

Go figure!  Any help/insight woluld be welcomed.]]></description>

<title>MAC spoofing</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22923598</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have users on my free public wireless network that are employees.  I have reason to believe they are spoofing their mac address to get onto the network since we block all of our laptops using mac filtering.  I am looking for a way to gain access to their machines to see if they have mac spoofing software installed since that seems to be the only way I can be sure they are spoofing.  I can assure you that the computers in question are company owned and this request is not for malicious intent.  I know, why believe me.  I am just looking to be able to prove that mac spoofing is going on so that the proper measures can be taken agains the offenders.  Any info would be appreciated.  I do have complete access to our wired and wireless network and can sniff all data but I can not seem to figure out how to get access to the hard drives of the offenders.]]></description>

<title>Hotel/Coffee Shop type wireless system</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23330995</link>
<description><![CDATA[All,

I'm tasked to find some options to do a wireless system in our office that is similar to a hotel or coffee shop "free" wireless system. Specifically, they want it set up as a proxy that does authentication before the guest can get out of the network.

So... are there open source versions of these systems that work fairly well? Anybody with experience from the private versions of these systems?

Thanks in advance!]]></description>

<title>WEP vs. ethernet</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23322535</link>
<description><![CDATA[Longtime since I've posted but I have a question regarding wireless vs. wired.

I have a laptop that was recently given to me and it runs XP.  I have AT&T as internet provider and upon setting up wireless this past weekend it seems the highest incryption (I guess that's what you call it) that the laptop will take is WEP.  We (technical support) tried WPA and above but never could garner a connection.

I've been reading about how bad WEP really is.  So since I'm not really moving my laptop around much at this time as it stays about the house would it be worth it to go wired vs. WEP wireless for the security sake?

Your help would be appreciated.
