Improving WLAN Security

Hiding the WLAN Name
After you hide the WLAN name, anyone who wishes to connect to the WLAN must enter the correct
WLAN name. This measure helps improve WLAN security.
1. Log in to the web management page.
2. Choose Home Network tab.
3. In the navigation tree, choose WLAN Settings.
4. Select WLAN Encryption configuration page.
5. Set Hide broadcast to enable.
6. Click Save.
Using High Security Encryption Modes
Adopting high security encryption modes protects against unauthorized access as well as data
interception on networks.
To improve WLAN security without sacrificing working efficiency, use WPA-PSK/WPA2–PSK and
TKIP+AES. This step also prevents WLAN unavailability caused by network adapters' incompatibility
with the selected security mode.
