Safeguarding Your Network - NETGEAR Wireless-N User Manual

For a wireless connection, the
security setting must be the same for the modem router and wireless computers or wireless
adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security.
Warning: Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred feet. This can
allow others outside of your immediate area to access your network.
