Wireless Security
To prevent unauthorized eavesdropping of data transmitted over the wireless LAN, you must enable wireless security. The default Open authentication setting provides no security for transmitted data.
You can encrypt data transmitted over the IEEE 802.11b wireless interface by configuring a WEP key on the Motorola SBG1000 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway and wireless LAN clients (stations).
You can also define a MAC access control list to restrict wireless LAN access to specified clients based on the client MAC address.
If you enable closed network operation, the network name (ESSID) is not transmitted in the IEEE 802.11b beacon frame. This provides additional network protection because only IEEE 802.11b stations that are configured with your network name can associate with the SBG1000. Closed network operation is not part of the IEEE 802.11b standard
For information about configuring a WEP key, see “Configuring Basic Wireless LAN Security” on page 73.
