Two purposes:
1. Wireless Client Isolation prevents one Wireless Client connected to an access point to communicate with another one connected to the same access point. (This is a typical requirement on Hot Spots, for instance, or in Corporate Environments with high security needs.)
2. It helps to prevent brute force attacks on clients' user names and passwords
Isolation
This is assuming that there is no outside access to the Ethernet network such as a Internet connection. If there were then firewalls would be needed to prevent a outside intrusion of the network. In addition to physical access security, a wireless network requires authentication and encryption to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the wireless network or capturing and decoding the data that is being transferred via a wireless network connection. If the wireless network has outside WAN access then you would also need firewalls as with the Ethernet network.
To prevent collisions.
Disabling the SSID Broadcast.
Ssid broadcast
It is prevent all connected network cards sending at the same time.
Key wireless router settings that can affect network security include enabling WPA3 or WPA2 encryption for the Wi-Fi network, which protects data transmission. Disabling the SSID broadcast can prevent unauthorized users from easily discovering the network. Additionally, changing the default admin username and password, as well as updating the router's firmware regularly, can protect against vulnerabilities and unauthorized access. Lastly, enabling features like MAC address filtering can add an extra layer of security by restricting which devices can connect to the network.
You need to disable broadcasting of SSID.
It uses a 128-bit pre-shared hexadecimal key to prevent unauthorized wireless access.
One major disadvantage of wireless networks is that they are hackable from the outside. Security measures are available to prevent or reduce the attacks.
use wireless encryption. for example, WPA or WEP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wifi#Network_security)
Network isolation is a security measure that separates a network or specific devices within a network from other networks to prevent unauthorized access and limit the spread of potential threats. This can be achieved through various methods, such as firewalls, VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), or air-gapping, which physically separates networks. By isolating sensitive data and critical systems, organizations can enhance their security posture and reduce the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks.
