WIFI managers

Re: WIFI managers

VPN networking is getting cheaper nowadays. Even Netgear does offer some VPN capable routers.

From my understanding, using WPA + RADIUS server is the safest bet apart from VPN.
RADIUSserver is sounding expensive, complicated and there is the s word.
In reality RADIUS servers are already implemented in several today's router (e.g. some older 3coms, anything running OpenWrt, ddwrt or similar) so there is no need for a 24/7 power hungry server.

From what i have read, WPA PSK is not that much safer then WEP. Sure, it may make it more difficult or more time consuming, but that it is.
And if the user has chosen a nice short password who he can remember, it would not be that much safer at all.

On the other side, unless someone want exactly your net or your data, then even the simnplest protection would probably annoy a potential intruder enough, so that he is switching to one of the uncountable unprotected ones.

Re: WIFI managers

I haven't been back here for a while.... but.... I've lost the driver and wireless manager for my Cisco Aironet adapter due to a faulty hard drive (my bad for not backing it up) the other day and now I desperately need a driver and utility for my Cisco Aironet 350 series PCMICIA adapter for Windows 98/ME. I can't find the software for this adapter anywhere.... can someone please help me?. I went to the cisco website but they won't let me download it and the link is locked.

Thanks.

Thank you so much Scenic.
My Cisco 350 series WLAN card is now functioning properly.
In fact I am typing this on my laptop, using that adapter.

Thanks.
