What About Security?
Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain amount of
responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a reasonably secure
system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the following tips to enhance the
system’s security:

Keep the operating system of the computer updated with the latest security patches.
Run the system update utility at least weekly.

Keep the email program updated with the latest security patches. In addition, avoid
opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent through chat rooms,
whenever possible.

Install a virus checker and keep it updated.

Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over the Wireless Router. Besides certain
vulnerability problems, most service providers prohibit running servers on consumer-
level accounts and may suspend your account for violating the terms of service.

Use the service provider's mail servers for sending email.

Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for abuse by other
Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Criminals can take advantage of
open proxies to hide their identity when breaking into other computers or sending
spam. If you have an open proxy, your service provider may suspend your account to
protect the rest of the network.

The TR3300-AC ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same reasons
that you should run only secured proxies). See the security label on the product for the
factory security settings. If you need to modify the default wireless security settings, see
Configuring the Wireless Connection (page 18).
