Encryption on 1131AG

Using WEP static now and need something better. Not using a RADIUS server. Whats the best we can do? Can we go to WPA without a RADIUS server? Can someone post a config please?

In particular, WPA-PSK, or Personal mode, is what you are looking for. Here's how to configure it in the CLI (using whatever shared key you want to use in place of passphrase). If your client doesn't support AES, replace it with TKIP.

interface Dot11Radio0

Yes... you should go with WPA2-AES if possible. This way you don't have to worry about any radius server setup.

Thank you, this is just wanted I needed to know!

It's great to get away from WEP. Keep in mind PSK is vulnerable to static attacks at the work station, if you are using windows zero config. And a wireless dictionary attack from Co-Patty.

So I wouldn't use windows zero config and make sure you use a crazy key so not to match anything in a dictionary. Also the obvious, anyone who has the key and should they leave may leave with the key.

just 2 cents
