crazy or not
I'm using WDS between a Linksys WRT54G (downstairs) and AirPort Express (upstairs), the latter primarily for EyeHome and AirTunes connectivity. The generic Linksys firmware doesn't support WPA over WDS. Since there's no sensitive data going over the WLAN I decided not to use WEP and just set up basic non-broadcast SSID and MAC address filtering. I haven't felt like messing with third party firmware up to now but that'll change if Linksys doesn't add WDS+WPA support soon or other circumstances change. I'm aware of what I'm doing and potential vulnerabilities. I don't foresee my WLAN remaining this open much longer.
crazy or not
Keep in mind that "hidden" SSIDs and MAC filtering make WEP look like high security in comparison.....
high (in)security
Yep, I'm not fooling myself into a false sense of security with what I'm (not) doing. Now that my routers are in better locations I'll work on resolving the WDS+WPA issue. |
