III-5. Security
The access point provides a variety of wireless security
options (wireless data encryption). When data is encrypted,
information transmitted wirelessly cannot be read by
anyone who does not know the encryption key.
Open the drop down menu labeled encryption and select the type of
encryption you would like to use.
Note: It is very important to set up wireless
security. Without security enabled, hackers or
intruders may gain access to your local
network and cause damage to your
computers and servers.
Note: There are several things you can do to
improve wireless security.
1. Use complicated, hard-to-guess phrases as
your security password. Use a random
combination of letters, numbers and
symbols.
2. Use WPA whenever possible. It’s more
secure than WEP.
3. Change your security password regularly.
