IV-3-1-3.  Security 

The access point provides various security 

options (wireless data encryption). When data is 

encrypted, information transmitted wirelessly cannot be read by anyone who 

does not know the correct encryption key. 

 

It’s essential to configure wireless security in order to prevent 

unauthorised access to your network. 

 

Select hard-to-guess passwords which include combinations of 

numbers, letters and symbols, and change your password 

regularly.
