Securing your wireless network

To create a password and secure your wireless network follow these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
(cont'd)
Select Wireless > Security in the left menu. You'll see the wireless security
screen (Fig. 4).
Make sure your network name is selected in the Select SSID drop
down menu.
Use the Network Authentication drop down menu to select an
encryption method. We recommend mixed WPA2/WPA2-PSK for the best
security. By default it should already be set to this.
Create a password that will be used to access your wireless network and
enter it in the field next to WPA/WAPI passphrase. This is the password
for your wireless network and prevents people you don't know from
accessing it. When connecting devices to your wireless network you'll
be asked for the password. Anyone who tries to connect without it won't
be able to.
Please note: Your password for your wireless network must be eight or
more characters long (the longer the better) and can include upper and
lower-case characters, numbers and symbols. We recommend you create
a complex password. The more complex, the more secure it will be.
Once you've finished click Apply/Save to save the wireless
security settings.
