[MLB-WIRELESS] [Fwd: D-Link DWL-900AP+ Security Hole]

[bchild at mail.wireless.org.au]

I've got 900+ ap's & basically didn't read the instructions, I firmwared
my AP's up from 2.1, 2.3, & now just recently to 2.5 all via wireless,
though the disadvantage is restting ur ip on ur laptop it is possible and
has been done serval times.

I don't know if you already have the lastest firmware running if you can
re-firmware it back over resetting the defaults, also when the AP's are in
bridged mode you can't update the firmware via wireless.

I guess 2 ways of secuirty here are 1, use bridge mode, and 2 keep your
firmware update, as I don't know if you can re-do the same firmware, will
have to give it ago.  Wireless updates seem harder to do if you've got
bridged ap's but on a ap basis, I have had np's.
