A wireless mesh network (WMN) is a mesh network created through the connection of wireless access point (WAP) nodes installed at each network user's locale. The networking infrastructure is decentralized and simplified because each node need only transmit as far as the next node. WMNs may or may not be connected to the internet. Wireless mesh networks, which can also be a form of wireless ad hoc network (WANET), are often used for the following: connecting internet of things (IoT) devices, such as sensors, security systems, smart appliances and monitoring systems; building networks in developing communities that lack internet wiring infrastructure; and providing consistent wireless access to hospitals, educational campuses and warehouses. Wi-Fi and networking in temporary locations, such as construction Network Security Can be defined as measures taken to protect data during their transmission along the media. Whereas securing the internet means taking measures to protect data during their transmission over a collection of Interconnected networks. Network security is the most important issue in the vast field of wireless networks. In order to improve network security, there are number of products that are available in the market that use packet filtering. For a network administrator, packet filtering is an effective tool for security purposes but he/she has to have an in depth knowledge of the capability of this tool. Our firewall software contains a set of protocol for which the filters will be applied. We have devised a packet filtering firewall called Net app for Microsoft windows operating systems.
