Securing or Unprotecting Your Wireless Guard Network

There may be some instances when you would want to completely unprotect your network connection so it is not using the Wireless Guard security. For example, if you take your laptop to another location to give a presentation, and connect to a network that is running 802.1x security, the Linksys Wireless Guard software on your laptop will block you from logging in to another network. You will need to manually unprotect your network connection so you can log in. When you come back to your own network, you won't have to manually re-secure the network connection. Linksys Wireless Guard will recognize it and automatically reinstate security.

To unprotect a network

Right-click the green Wireless Guard Network key icon on the right-side of the system tray at the bottom of your screen. Select Unprotect this Network Connection from the menu.

When the screen asks if you're sure you want to unprotect the network, click Yes.

To secure an unprotected network
