After pulling my "Old" D-Link Wireless Router out of Moth Balls and configuring it for NO Encryption and MAC Address Filtering, I have had two Morning Powerups where the Internet Radio has continued to Stream past my "Critical" 1-Hour "Window"!!! Reasons the "Old" WBR-1310 was retired included Poor Wireless "Stability" when using WPA/WPA2 Encryption and being "Limited" to ONLY 10 MAC Addresses for the "Filtering"...
Understanding that MAC Addresses can be "Spoofed" this would NOT be sufficient "Protection" for an Access Point in the City, although I might concider using this "Workaround" at the Cottage in the Country where the "Nearest" Neighbor is quite far away??? Plus I would use the WBR-1310 ONLY for the Squeezebox Internet Radio Streaming, leaving all other Wired and Wireless Devices on the "Main" DSL Modem where WPA2/AES is required for WiFi Access... In the Future my Morning Tests will have WEP Added to the MAC Address Filtering, although with WEP also being "Crackable" it would give the Script Kiddies a Second Layer to Hack through??? Lastly the WBR-1310 would only be Powered On when people were at the Cottage on the Weekends... That said the "Best" would be if WPA2/AES within the Squeezebox's Firmware could be made "Reliabably" with everyone's Access Points!!! -- LHoust ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LHoust's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50020 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86061 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
