<div dir="ltr">We use NAT Mode on our Meraki wireless APs. They're essentially their own networks with their own private DHCP scope. They also provide wireless client isolation - wireless clients can't talk to one another. No password is needed to connect, but connected devices must pass through our captive portal and agree to our wireless terms of use before they are granted access to the internet.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 20, 2017 at 3:41 PM, Phil Shirley via OPLINTECH <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:oplintech@lists.oplin.org" target="_blank">oplintech@lists.oplin.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Our wireless internet access for the public is not secure (it doesn't require a password, so it's not encrypted). I would like to add a more secure option and give people the password by putting it the SSID name (something like "CFL secure - password is fallslibrary"), so that the traffic on their radio transmissions will be encrypted.<br>
<br>
I would be interested to know if any other libraries are doing that, and, if so, if you also offer an option without a password. I'm inclined to offer both at first and then try taking away the non-encrypted option, but I worry that a few devices won't work with the encrypted option. Any thoughts on this?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
