What issues might I run into when setting up security protections for my existing network?
Older equipment might not support the latest security standards. Check to see whether WPA2 security features are supported. Beginning in 2004, some equipment was certified for WPA2 features. All products certified after February 2006 must have WPA2 support. If not available, contact your manufacturer's web site to see if a firmware upgrade is available for download. If an upgrade to WPA2 is not available you should consider purchasing new equipment.
The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED program is the best indicator that Wi-Fi products from different companies have been tested to work together and have the latest security protections built in. Users should only purchase Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products.
