Hi,
A colleague has installed a DLink DGL 4300 wireless gaming router (it was a give-away) in our office without security. It has a very strong signal and must be accessible to hundreds of other people in the area. Worse, the office files are vulnerable to unauthorized access (?). Of course, everyone is happy to move around the office freely with their machines now but the boss is unaware of the risks.
After successfully installing my own home wireless LAN I thought I might be able to do the same with this router but its security setup is much more complex. I used the wizard and that seemed to go okay but then nobody could log on with the password I defined and I was howled out of the place. Can anyone suggest how I might have gone wrong with the security wizard? I have to get it right if I try again otherwise I may not be allowed to try again.
