Configuring Your Wireless Settings and Security
Options
The
Wireless Settings
screen lets you set your
Wireless Network
connections and select the
appropriate and optimum
Security Options
for your network and router.
Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and
anyone with a compatible adapter can receive them. For this reason, use the security features of
your wireless equipment. The wireless router provides highly effective security options which are
covered in detail in the
User Manual
that is available from a link on the
Resource CD
or by
clicking the
Documentation
link on the main menu of your router.
Indoors, computers can connect over wireless networks at a range of several
hundred feet. Such distances can allow for others outside of your immediate area to
access your network.
