■You can protect your network from intrusion by the outside world (via the Internet) by installing a router. Go to the Adaptec Web site at www.adaptec.com for more information on Adaptec’s Wireless Router.

■You can exclude unauthorized users from your WLAN by using the security and encryption features built into your Wireless device. See Connecting to the WLAN on page 28 and Changing the Set-up of Your WLAN on page 32, and refer to your other Wireless devices’ documentation for more details.
