MAC Address Control

Every network device has a unique hardware address known as a media access control (MAC) address. Enabling MAC address con- trol allows you to control LAN and WAN access for each client in your network. Hackers will be denied access using outside devices.

WEP Encryption

Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) security protocol offers basic pri- vacy protection, but should be used to make it more difficult for hackers to intercept data or access your network. Use the following tips to maximize the benefit of WEP encryption:

•Use the highest level of encryption available

•Use a shared key

•Use multiple keys

•Change the WEP key regularly

Enabling encryption can decrease your network performance over- all, but is necessary for transmitting sensitive data over your net- work.

By following these recommendations, you can enjoy optimal per- formance of your wireless network while preventing unauthorized access.
