12. To secure your network, we recommend you configure these security
settings:
- To prevent unauthorized access to your WLAN, you can use an
Access Control List, see section 5.6.1.1: ‘MAC Address based
Authorization’. In this list, enter the MAC address of
the network cards that are allowed access to your WLAN.
- To prevent unauthorized changes to your configuration, change
the Write Community String password, see section
5.6.3: ‘Security against unauthorized configuration’.
This password will be requested when a client accesses the web
interface.
For even tighter security, you can use the other features described in
section 5.6: ‘Security’
If you want to use a DHCP server instead of Auto IP, see section
4.7: ‘Using a DHCP server’
