I just setup my 524 and 630 laptop card: Since i cannot use WAP (using
win98se), i am wondering if i have done the best for what i have.
1- I have enable DHCP to only assign 1 IP. Firewall/Filter the rest of
the range.
2- I have enabled mac filter to my mac address.
3- I have enable wep with 128 hex encryp.
4- I have disabled ssid broadcast ( i read both sides of this and
selected disable)
5- I have decreased my antenna strength to 12.5%10dBM. It covers the
parts of the house i need.
6- I changed the default SSID name and setup an admin and user
passwords.
7 - Authentication is share key.
8- Upgraded to the latest firmware.
Ok.. What did i miss or is this the best i can do with what I have
until i can get WAP going on a new OS. Thanks for any response and
help. Rich
