Implement Appropriate Wireless Security

Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/g wireless networks at ranges of up
to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside of your immediate area to access
your network.
Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can be received well beyond your
walls by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your
wireless equipment. The WPN824 router provides highly effective security features which are
covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
