Go Wide With Wireless NetsDavid Markowitz builds a wireless network featuring dual access points in our newest TechBuilder recipe. By doing so, he greatly expands the range available for the network wireless users. Along the way, he covers issues such as network planning, selecting hardware, and enabling the system's security features. "The exact method you use [to secure the network against unauthorized users] will depend in large part on which mechanisms your client supports, especially when it comes to encryption. For example, while WEP is supported by virtually all wireless clients, it's not too strong. WPA offers much stronger encryption, though it may not be supported by your clients."
