4.3 Securing a wireless network
To avoid having uninvited guests probing your wireless network we strongly
recommend securing your wireless network. There are several security methods
which can secure the network at different levels. To apply a method to your network it
is required that all wireless network devices support this method. The strongest
method of security is WPA2 AES (WiFi Protected Access).
