Introduction

v1.1, January 2006

Protect my 
wireless 
connection

 

(from snooping, 
hacking, or 
information 
theft).

1. Assure that the 

wireless network 
has security 
features enabled.

2. Configure my 

WPNT834 with the 
security settings of 
the wireless 
network.

3. Use Windows 

security features.

• A wireless network WEP or 

WPA security enabled.

• Wireless networking 

equipment that supports 
WEP or WPA, such as the 
WPNT834.

To learn about wireless 
networking security, see 

“Wireless Communications” in 
Appendix B

.

To use WEP security features, 
see 

“Implementing Appropriate 

Wireless Security” on page 4-2

 

and configure your WPNT834 
accordingly.

Note: 

Secure Internet sites such as banks and online merchants use encryption security built into browsers 

like Internet Explorer and Netscape. Any wireless networking security features you might implement are in 
addition to those already in place on secure Internet sites.
