2-7-3 Wireless Security
It’s very important to set wireless security settings properly!
If you
don’t, hackers and malicious users can reach your network and access
valuable data without your consent and this will cause serious security
problems.
To set wireless security settings, click the ‘Wireless’ menu on the
upper-right side of the web management interface, then click ‘Security
Settings’, and follow the instructions to set wireless security settings:
Select an encryption method from the ‘Encryption’ drop-down menu,
there are four options:
Disable wireless security
When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled, and every
wireless device in proximity will be able to connect to your wireless
router if no other security measure is enabled (like MAC address access
control - see section 2-7-4, or disable ESSID broadcast).
Only use this option when you really want to allow everyone to use
your wireless router, and you don’t care if there’s someone reads the
data you transfer over the network without your consent.
