In thin presentation we would mainly focusing on how to change the various settings like the SSID, password etc. for a wireless access point and also how to add a few security measures like the mac filter, ip filter to our access point

Computers that are linked in order to share resources Computer networks can be used for several purposes: Facilitating communications Sharing hardware Sharing files, data, and information Sharing software

Device or program that enables a computer to transmit data A modem converts between digital and analogue form of information. Any external modem can be attached to any computer with a port. Number of different protocols for formatting data to be transmitted over telephone lines exist.

A device in computer networking Forwards data packets to their destinations Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect.

A device that allows wired communication devices to connect to a wireless network using Wi-Fi Usually connects to a router, and can relay data between the wireless devices

Make use of a wireless transmission medium Typically restricted in their diameter: buildings, campus, single room etc.. The global goal is to replace office cabling and to introduce high flexibility for ad hoc communication (e.g. Group meetings)

Flexibility: within radio coverage, nodes can communicate without further restriction. Radio waves can penetrate walls. Planning: wireless ad hoc networks allow for communication without planning. Wired networks need wiring plans. Robustness: wireless networks can survive disasters, if the wireless devices survive people can still communicate

Lower bandwidth due to limitations in radio transmission (1-10 Mbit/s) and higher error rates due to interference Cost: Ethernet adapter vs wireless LAN adapters Proprietary solutions: slow standardization procedures lead to many proprietary solutions only working in an homogeneous environment Safety and security: using radio waves for data transmission might interfere with other high-tech equipment

Change Default Administrator Passwords (and Usernames) Turn on (Compatible) WPA / WEP Encryption Enable MAC Address Filtering Do Not Auto-Connect to Open Wi-Fi Networks Assign Static IP Addresses to Devices Enable Firewalls On Each Computer and the Router Use signal absorber if required

Device Info DHCP info Set basic wireless property Set Wireless Security Add Mac filter LAN Settings Assign static IP to a Mac Add IP Filter Set DNS Server Set Services to be accessed Set access point password Save and Reboot
