Does GuestLinX use WEP encryption for its wireless network?
GuestLinX does not enable WEP (Wired Equivalency Protection) on any of the wireless equipment used in our networks. Therefore, no special keys are required to use GuestLinX wireless Internet access. WEP encryption is not yet practical for a public access network, due in part to the absence of a standardized method for relaying encryption keys between different manufacturers’ equipment. The GuestLinX system supports secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) access. If your company has a VPN, GuestLinX recommends that you connect via the VPN for optimum security. GuestLinX also encourages its users to observe standard security practices, such as ensuring that computer hard drives are not shared. As a member of the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA), GuestLinX supports ongoing security efforts for wireless public networks.
