Using wireless security features
When you set up a home WLAN or access an existing public WLAN, always enable
security features to protect your network from unauthorized access. The most common
security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access Personal (WPA-Personal) and Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP).
When setting up a network, you should use one or more of the following security
measures:
Enable WPA-Personal or WEP security encryption on the router.
Change the default network name (SSID) and password.
Use a firewall.
Set security on your Web browser.
