Netgear DUALBAND WLAN WNDAP360 N300 AP WNDAP360-PES 사용자 설명서

Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls 
and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security 
features of your wireless equipment. The wireless access point provides highly effective 
security features that are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features 
appropriate to your needs.

There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:

Use multiple BSSIDs combined with VLANs. You can configure combinations of 

VLANS and BSSIDs (security profiles) with stronger or less restrictive access security 
according to your requirements. For example, visitors could be given wireless Internet 
access but be excluded from any access to your internal network. For information about 
how to configure BSSIDs, see 

Restrict access based by MAC address. You can allow only trusted PCs to connect so 

that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the wireless access point. Restricting 
access by MAC address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but 
the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. For information about how to 
restrict access by MAC address, see 

Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name (SSID). If you disable broadcast 

of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the 
wireless network discovery feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data 
is still exposed. For information about how to turn of broadcast of the SSID, see 

WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP 

shared key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined 
eavesdropper. This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and 
WPA2-PSK. 

For information about how to configure WEP, see 

Legacy 802.1X. Legacy 80.1X uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication but no data 

encryption.
