Please remember it’s very important to set wireless security settings
properly! Without a proper setting, hackers and intruders may gain access
to your local network and cause serious problems in your network.
There are several things you can do to improve wireless security:
1. Always enable data encryption. Only disable it when you want to open
your wireless range extender to the public.
2. Never use simple words as encryption password. Using random
combinations of symbols, numbers, and alphabets will greatly improve
security.
3. Use WPA when possible - it's much safer than WEP.
4. Change encryption password after you’ve used it for too long time.
