How easily can connections be hijacked?
Not sure what you mean by hijacked. Yes, it is easier for an outsider to get on the wireless network than the wired net, but once there you have virtually the same protections and holes as the wired net. Can the wireless setup on a personal computer coexist with a 100Mbps switched network setup on the same computer so that one can easily change to high-bandwidth networking in the office or to wireless networking without complicated configuration changes or rebooting? The answer to this question depends of your individual campus network architecture and the OS of the system you are using. In my case, I typically use the wireless LAN 80-90% of the time, and use my wired connection on the days I have my machine backed-up through our central backup system. Do the higher-end solutions that you have investigated have compatible less-expensive solutions for home use? I’ll like to seamlessly use my wireless-connected laptop on campus or at home, again, without having to make any configuration
