AirStation One - Touch Secure System

AirStation One-Touch Secure System
A Description of WLAN Security Challenges and Potential Solutions

With the recent proliferation of wireless technology within public and private networks, there is an increasing need for better wireless security methods and standards. To address this need, organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Wi-Fi Alliance have created new standards like WPA and PSK/AES that offer vast improvements
over the inferior WEP standard. However, despite the risks, most end users still do not implement these robust methods of securing their wireless transmissions.

The AOSS apparent reason end users fail to commit to the proper use of wireless security is the perceived difficulty in setting-up and maintaining that security. Users can be intimidated by having to enter complex security keys that typically consist of long strings of meaningless characters into multiple devices often from various hardware vendors with differing user interfaces. Essentially, to setup security on even a small wireless network, end users are expected to reference multiple support resources.

The AirStation One-Touch Secure System (AOSS) by Buffalo Technology was developed to address this problem by eliminating the complexity at the end user level and providing a hassle-free way to setup and maintain rigid security features.

• What is AOSS and when would I use it?

• I set up the DS with AOSS and now none of my other devices are able to connect wirelessly?
