Step 3: Set Up Wireless Security – Run the Security Assistant Software

Now that your network is set up and working, it is recommended that you turn on wireless security to prevent unauthorized access to your network from neighboring wireless-enabled computers. The Security Assistant will guide you through the process. Click “Security Assistant” and follow the on-screen instructions.
