Implement Appropriate Wireless Security

Warning: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11g wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside of your immediate area to access your network.

Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The router provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in full reference manual that is available from a link on the CD as well as a link in the main menu of your router. Follow the instructions in the Reference Manual and in the router help screens to deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
