DSecurity

Although one of the benefits of a wireless-enabled device is that it allows others to freely connect for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the following may occur if security is not enabled:

•Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information.

•Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due to the design of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is enabled.

APassword Protection

You may be prompted to enter a password the first time you connect after changing password settings.
