3.0 Securing your wireless network
To avoid having uninvited guests accessing your wireless network we strongly
recommend securing your wireless network. This security feature (pass-key) needs to
be submitted into your wireless modem or your wireless router. The modem or router
will subsequently send out an encrypted signal, unable to be accessed by third party
guests.
There are a number of methods to secure your network on several levels. Make sure
all wireless network equipment is capable of adopting the method of choice. The latest
and also most effective way of securing your wireless network is WPA (WiFi Protected
Access). Some useful tips for securing your wireless network are discussed below.
Refer to the manual of your wireless router and/or modem to install and activate
wireless security. Write down settings such as: the security method, encryption level
(in Bits), method of submitting (ASCII, Hex etc.), the security key and the key index.
Configure all other wireless equipment within your network with the same settings.
