Setting the wireless network
How does it work?
In order to create a wireless network, you need a wireless router, wireless modem or access point. The wireless router, modem or access point
transmits the wireless network. The name of this network, also referred to as SSID, depends on your wireless router, modem or access point and
often differs per model or brand. You can often determine the name yourself and thus recognise your own wireless network.
Protection
You could compare a wireless network to radio signals. However, the range of a wireless network at home is not as big. Your home wireless network
often has a range of 20 to 30 metres. This means that neighbours and passers-by too can make use of your network. As a result they can get away
with surfing on your Internet connection, and they may gain access to your shared folders and files on your network. That is why it is recommended
to secure your wireless network. This protection is set up on the device transmitting the network. In most cases that is the wireless router, modem or
access point. By adding a WEP or WPA protection code, you secure the network. This code is also referred to as the network key. Enter this code on
each computer that wants to connect to that secured network. You can only be part of that network if you enter this code. If you did not enter the
network key into the router or modem yourself, ask the installer, manufacturer, supplier or provider for this code.
