Wireless Security in 2009: Recommendations
July 3rd, 2009

Yesterday, I grabbed an 802.11b/g/* router from Chinatown ($32 – can’t beat that) and set out to use my laptop’s wireless network card. I hadn’t done this before because I was (justifiably) concerned about wireless security, so I wanted to make sure that a breach of the wireless network wouldn’t turn into a breach of the wired LAN (which includes a printer and a few sensitive servers). This post collects some of my research and observations, and it concludes with my recommendations for how you can secure your own wireless network… or at a minimum, it tells you how you could if you were willing to spend $32 on a new wireless access point.
