Hi Rich,

First thing to do is to trace the signal. I.e. what are the physical limits
of the RF. Special wireless tools (like the Sniffer Wireless) are available
to help you with this, but the software delivered with your Aironet can tell
you a lot as well.
If the signal stays within the building, 128-bits WEP and an access-control
list (i.e. which MAC-addresses are allowed and which not) should be
sufficient.
If the signal spreads to for example the car-park, additional security
measures are advisable. Depending on how much you're willing to spend,
several options are available. A firewall behind the AP, VPN-tunnels, etc.
are all expensive, but secure solutions. Again, which solution to go for
depends on your security needs and how much you're willing to spend.

Hth,
Remmert
