A) Establish policy and standards.
1) Implement WEP, which is broken but better than nothing.
2) Do not broadcast the SSID.
3) Do MAC or layer 2 filtering.
4) Enforce authentication
5) And if you are really paranoid, use a VPN.
And oh yes, monitor your network!

Subject: Wirless LAN
We're going to be taking the dive on a WLAN here soon. We have two
floors and two wings on each floor. I'm thinking of 2 access points per
wing. My question, is that I'm looking for opinions on how best to set
this up security-wise. I've been reading a lot about this lately, but
maybe someone on this list has set this up and give me some input. My
Wireless knowledge is probably a 4 (out of 10). Thanks,
-Tim
