A quick introduction to WiFi Security
WPA with SSID not being broadcast and MAC control is definately the way to go... The tips that i can pass on from my experience with this:
A quick introduction to WiFi Security
If you have airport extreme on all of your machines, you can also choose to broadcast in wireless G mode only. This prevents anyone with wireless B from trying to access or hack your network. It adds yet another layer of security in addition to those hints listed above.
WPA breaks my PostScript printer
One weird thing that I have encountered (both with a Belkin and a Linksys wireless router) is that when I try to print over Airport with WPA enabled, my (admittedly old) PostScript printer (connected via Ethernet to the router) won't print--it gets PS errors. Connecting my laptop to the router via Ethernet works fine, as does WEP encryption.
WPA breaks my PostScript printer
I have a Belkin 'G' wireless router and an AsanteTalk adapter for my old Laserwriter Select 360, and it works great in all modes I have tried. I print both from OS X and Classic. I use WPA the most. You might try posting all your config info and see if any of the brains around here can come up with a solution for you. |
