1142 question

[micwill3]

Using an 1142 in a stand a lone environment, (I changed the default firmware to the stand alone) - how do I also set up security to support a MAC address along with WPA2 Personal?

Thanks

Actually I see WPA, but I don’t see where to enable MAC level security.

What I am trying to do is to set up security on my home 1142. I currently have a Linksys router (AP) using WPA2 (pre-shared key) and also MAC filtering. I am trying to do the same with the 1142.

If I can do RADIUS, etc, then that is cool also, just looking for a secure AP. NOTE: I would need to leverage the APs RADIUS server, if it has one, etc.

Thanks

use the ASSOCIATION ACCESS LIST  option...

MAC filiter is pretty easy to break by spoofing it, just an FYI.

Thanks for the details guys.

As a note, to spoof the MAC, dont you need to know what to spoof though? So with MAC filtering and WPA2 Personal, I woudl think this is pretty secure.
