Security: Using a secure wireless network
A wireless network offers you the freedom to roam without the burden of cables but it also means
that your data is accessible to anyone else in range of your wireless grid. If you are concerned
about a neighbor or someone within range of your wireless network using your wireless connec-
tion for malicious activity, we strongly recommend that you enable wireless security to prevent
unauthorized connection or someone from eavesdropping to listen in on your network traffic.
Today, many wireless routers provide several mechanisms for securing a wireless network and it
is recommended that you first enable security on your wireless router and then match the method
you have selected on your clients.
