Using wireless security features

When you set up a home WLAN or access an existing public WLAN, always enable security features to protect the network from unauthorized access. The most common security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access Personal (WPA-Personal) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).

When setting up a network, HP recommends that you use one or more of the following security measures:

￿Enable WPA-Personal or WEP security encryption on the router.

￿Change the default network name (SSID) and password.

￿Set up a firewall.

￿Set security on your Web browser.
