Network security

Your network is only as secure as its most vulnerable component. Security
vulnerabilities risk allowing unintentional access to your network and its
connected wireless and wired devices.
To ensure that your network is secure, as a minimum you should:
• Regularly check for security updates for all your wireless and wired
networked devices.
• For applicable devices, ensure you use a reputable antivirus program with
the latest virus definitions.
• Always use the strongest encryption type for your router's access point
settings.
Operations
• Use a strong router access point password (i.e. a longer password such as
a memorable phrase).
• Change your password periodically.
• Be cautious who you share your password with.
• If you need to write down your password, ensure it is kept in a secure
place where it is not easily viewable.

Connecting an Android device to the router's access point

Android devices can be connected to the router's Wi-Fi access point.
