2-5 Wireless Security
This wireless access point provides many types of wireless security (wireless data
encryption). When you use data encryption, data transferred by radio signals in the air
will become unreadable for those people who don't know correct encryption key
(encryption password).
There are four types of security level you can select: Disable (no security - data
encryption disabled), WEP, WPA Pre-shared Key, and WPA Radius. Please refer to the
following sections for detailed instructions.
Please remember it's very important to set wireless security settings properly! Without a
proper setting, hackers and intruders may gain access to your local network and do
something bad to your computers and servers, which could cause serious problem.
There are several things you can do to improve wireless security:
1. Always enable data encryption. Only disable it when you want to open your
wireless access point to the public.
2. Never use simple words as encryption password. Use the random combination
of symbols, numbers, and alphabets will greatly improve security.
3. Use WPA when possible - it's much safer than WEP.
4. Change encryption password when you've used it for too long time.
2-5-1 Disable Security
