3 Wireless networking

Introduction

This section provides all information on how to use the wireless features of your TG588v v2.

Wireless access point

Your TG588v v2 comes with an integrated IEEE 802.11n wireless access point.

Configuring your wireless clients

For more information on how to make a wireless connection to your TG588v v2, see: 

•

“3.1 Connecting your wireless client via WPS” on page 20

•

“3.2 How to manually connect a wireless client” on page 22

•

“3.3 Connecting your wireless client by scanning a QR code” on page 23

Secure your wireless connection!

By default, the wireless access point of your TG588v v2 is not secured. This means that everyone who is within the 
range of your TG588v v2 can access your network, with the possible consequences that:

• Your personal data on devices in your local network can be exposed and compromised.

• People may use your connection to access the Internet.

• Hackers may use your connection to commit crimes.

You can easily prevent this by securing your wireless access point. For more information, see 

“3.4 Securing your 

wireless connection” on page 24
