What is your liability should someone rely on that encryption for private issues?

Sales is often a process of overcoming objections... WPA ( which hasn't been broken without a brute force attack, i.e. use a good password ) answers one of these issues. I love saying we have BETTER security than cable or dsl.

I provide the same amount of encryption as the telco and cable company..... NONE.

It is the responsibility of my customers to encrypt anything they deem private or privileged. I would hate to tell someone that everything is safe because I use (insert-insert-20-minutes-or-less-crackable-encryption-scheme-here) to "protect" them. The next question I can see getting from that customer is why his/her credit card was used for some nefarious purpose because "they only use it when they use the Intarwebs".

If someone really wants to sniff network traffic from their laptop or whatever off of my network.. Great, have at it. I have stories and have seen tape recorders and unofficial party lines made out of plenty of telco closets shared with banks and ISPs before.

Funny you should ask. I was going to ask the same question about whether or not i should be encrypting the traffic from the AP to the customer. WPA and WPA2 have caused me nothing but problems from the get-go and i would just rather get rid of it. The encryption was in place when i started here, and coming from the business side of things and setting up in-building wifi, we always used encryption. At first it was setup to provide security between the clients, but now we are able to turn off client-to-client communication, maybe i don't need to run it anymore. What are most people doing? Maybe i should turn it off....

I have to ask,

Why are you encrypting traffic from your AP to your customer's CPE?

Can't upgrade to 4.0.2 at this time. There is an issue when using WPA and MT AP. Causes the clients to drop and reboot constantly. I'm sticking with 3.6.7 till they come up with a fix.

Yes... It works very well if you have Tranzeo CPE's that support it. Many CPQ's don't unless you put in a new radio...

We run mostly MT AP's and Tranzeo CPE (CPQ/SL2). Is it possible to run 10mhz or 5Mhz channels with MT AP and Tranzeo CPE?
