Chapter 12 Network Security


Here we are again with the wireless Dlink.  This time we setup a little more security on the access point.




Overall, the physical setup was a snap.  Plug the ethernet cable from the computer you are using to setup the wireless network to the router.  Do all the essentials, like SSID, do you want to broadcast it, (select no for tighter security), wireless transmission encryption and etc.  Next we setup a DHCP on the router to hand out IP addresses in a subnet.  Once the overall setup was done, the above pictured wireless USB network adapter was used to connect to the wireless network.  Of course you needed to know the SSID and the passpharse for the network.  Afterwards, we setup a little MAC filtering to further restrict network access.
