What About Security?

You have multiple options for adding security to your WLAN. Set security according to the needs of your network.

■You can limit access to parts of the network by setting passwords and creating special shared files. Refer to your operating system’s documentation for more information.

■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 27 and Changing the Set-up of Your WLAN on page 31, and refer to your other Wireless devices’ documentation for more details.
