Wireless gateway

Dominic Chan
Do Astaro 4.0 come with some form of gateway for Wireless Access point (i.e. when your wireless segment is a separate subnet)?

    Hi,
    I am not really clear on what you mean, but V4 offers Access Point functionality with certain 802.11b PCMCIA Wireless Cards and PCMCIA-to-PCI bridges. If you just want to Plug in an Access Point via an extra Ethernet Interface to create a separate Wireless Network Segement, that is fine, too...

    Greets,

    I see that version 4.0 of astaro also support wireless NIC.  Is there an advantage of using an internal wireless NIC versus adding another NIC (as its own subnet) and attach an access point to its?

    Also, if I want to be extra safe, can I set up the wireless segment with VPN connection only?

    thank you for your time

    one is that you can dmz your wireless network, as wireless networks are not really considered secure, you would not necessarily want it inside your private network.
