Is traffic on a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) bridge more secure than other wireless data?

Aztech - Retail Malaysia
No. Although data in a WDS connection can be WEP encrypted, WDS requires the MAC addresses in each packet's header to be unencrypted. Also, the current version of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) does not handle WDS.

What is Wireless Distribution System, WDS?

Frequently Asked Application Questions
If a Wireless LAN needs to be upgraded, it is sometimes not possible to connect the access points over Ethernet to make communication beyond cells possible. Possible reasons: In such situations, the access points can be used in the Wireless Distribution System mode without being wired. In WDS mode, it is important that an access point can "see" its neighbors (otherwise the chain would be interrupted!). This can make it necessary to use special, distant antennas instead of the supplied antennas.

How do I secure my wireless network?

Grande Communications - FAQs ; How-Tos
Limit the number of DHCP addresses to the number of wireless access points that you will be using. Optionally, set static IP addresses, set to non-standard network blocks. Consider using VPN, SSL, Firewalls, RADIUS, Kerberos or other access control, or end-to-end encryption. Most of these can be integrated into your 802.11b appliance.

How fast is a wireless connection and will my data be secure?

Frequently Asked Questions
The wireless network provides a shared 11Mbps connection. Because it is shared, the more users connected in the same area at the same time, the slower the connection speed will be. If concerned about security, users should ensure they are using secure communications software when sending sensitive data over the wireless network. SSL Web browsers and SSH are examples. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) service is available that will provide even more security for users that require it.
Related Questions

Is data sent over the wireless network secure?

Wireless - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Users should assume that data transmitted over the wireless network is not secure. Data, as it is transmitted from the wireless network adapter to the access point, is not currently encrypted. 128-bit encryption will possibly be phased in the near future and may be a requirement to use the wireless network.

How secure is wireless communication? Can others intercept my phone calls?

Center for Wireless Telecommunications
The cordless (49 MHz) and cellular FM phones are not secure. If you don't want anyone to hear you, don't use cordless or cellular. The new cordless (900 MHz) spread spectrum and cellular non-FM (ie IS-95, etc.) are secure because of the spreading code used in the modulation technique. In general, spread spectrum systems provide a much higher level of security than the more traditional narrowband systems.

How do I set up WDS with my current wireless LAN (WLAN) network?

Cisco - Wireless Domain Services FAQ
In order to set up WDS, you must designate one AP or the Wireless LAN Services Module (WLSM) as the WDS. The WDS AP must establish a relationship to an authentication server through authentication with a WDS user name and password. The authentication server can be either an external Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) server or the local RADIUS server feature in the WDS AP.

When does the bridge close to traffic?

WSDOT - SR 104- Hood Canal Bridge Frequently Asked Questions
There are three reasons the Hood Canal Bridge closes to traffic: inclement weather, marine traffic and route maintenance. The bridge is unique because it is the longest floating bridge in the world over saltwater --making it subject to strong winds and tides. Because it is also a vital transportation link for drivers and for residents in Olympic & Kitsap peninsulas, WSDOT monitors the bridge during inclement weather.
