Let's try another question WARNING: this one is really boring.

Dear Alisha,

To mitigate concerns regarding the confidentiality and integrity of the data communicated over our wireless local area network, is it really cost effective for a small business to implement full IEEE 802.1x mutual authentication or should we adopt 802.11i and focus on strong encryption algorithms, such as temporary key integrity protocol (TKIP) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)?

Thanks

Glen in Coolidge

Dear Glen

If you are that concerned, maybe you should use a wired network.
