A method of authenticating access points ( 1, 2, 3 ) on a wireless network ( 4 ) comprises sending a list of nearest neighbours ( 2, 3 ) from a trusted access point ( 1 ) to a controller ( 6 ). At the trusted access point ( 1 ), test data related to each of the listed nearest neighbours is received from the controller. Each neighbour ( 2, 3 ) is interrogated using its respective test data and the response compared with an expected response. A reliability indication is returned to the controller ( 6 ).
