Sorry to respond so late, but one company I was looking at was BlueSocket (www.bluesocket.com). They offer wireless gateways, and I think some of their smaller gateways are affordable for medium-sized businesses. They offer that desireable separation from the internal network, and have very flexible authentication. This includes VPN clients as well as a web-based authentication scheme for portable devices that don't have VPN clients available. I saw a this product in action at a WiFi security seminar here in Kansas City a few months back, and it was pretty much the only product that impressed me.

Mr. Chad, Yes, it is necessary to have some of the security level from the security respective. For example you should have authentication, authorization and encryption if needed. you shall find the encryption function build in with the wireless product. However, I advise you to have authorization and encryption in the system, if will not make the performance down. If you need any further info, please don't hesitate to call me or drop me an email.

I am fairly new to the wireless world but have done a lot of research into it and have played around with it both at home at here at work. I have implemented a wireless access point using 128 bit wep key for now. I am getting ready to implement a system based on example one (or maybe example 2) of the following white paper: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0f7fa9a2-e113-415b- b2a9-b6a3d64c48f5&DisplayLang=en The only thing really wrong that I noticed was there was not firewall (setup with VPN) between the access point and the rest of the network? Is this a real necessity? Thanks, Chad Thomsen, MCSE, CCNA Network Administrator --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
