    I am fairly new to the wireless world but have done a lot of research into
    it and have played around with it both at home at here at work. I have
    implemented a wireless access point using 128 bit wep key for now. I am
    getting ready to implement a system based on example one (or maybe example
    2) of the following white paper:

    b2a9-b6a3d64c48f5&DisplayLang=en

    The only thing really wrong that I noticed was there was not firewall (setup
    with VPN) between the access point and the rest of the network? Is this a
    real necessity?

    Thanks,
