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 is essential to configure wireless security in order to prevent 

unauthorised access to your network. 

 

For optimal security, select a hard-to-guess password which 

include a combination of numbers, letters and symbols.
