wireless security in our wired LAN

by mcambon . Updated 19 years, 10 months ago

Hi,

Our organziation has about 50 computers in a windows 2000 domain. A few people with laptops want to have the convenience of a wireless access point to access the network resources while they are in the building. I’m dragging my feet in implementing it because of security concerns. It wouldn’t be practical to allow access only to a certain segment of the network, because it would defeat the convenience factor. We would be using a D-Link DI-524. Even with WPA-2, MAC filtering, turning it off in off hours, etc, I’m still worried that it will leave us vulnerable. Would we be better off setting up a Radius serverrather than relying on WPA-2? Or would we be better off not using the wireless at all?

Opinons much appreciated..
