Note:
Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/bg/ng wireless networks at ranges of
several hundred feet or more. This distance can allow for others outside your area
to access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your
network from unauthorized access. The MaxR-3210 Wireless Access Point
provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in
“Understanding Security Profiles” on page 2-18
. Deploy the security features
appropriate to your needs.
