Securing or Unprotecting your Wireless Guard Network
There may be some instances where you would want to completely unprotect your network connection so it is
not using the Wireless Guard security. For example, if you take your laptop to another location to give a
presentation, and connect to a network that is running 802.1x security, the Linksys Wireless Guard software on
your laptop will prevent you from logging in to another network. You will need to manually unprotect your
network connection so you can log in. When you come back to your own network, you won't have to manually re-
secure the network connection. Linksys Wireless Guard will recognize it and automatically reinstate security.
To unprotect a network
Right-click on the green Wireless Guard Network key icon on the right-side of the system tray at the bottom of
your screen. Select
Unprotect this Network Connection
from the menu.
When the screen asks if you're sure you want to unprotect the network, click
