Wireless Using Wireless Security Features When you set up your own WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always ensure that security features are protecting the WLAN. If you do not enable security on your WLAN, an unauthorized wireless user can access your notebook data and use your Internet connection without your knowledge. The most common security levels are Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)-Personal and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). In addition to enabling WPA-Personal or WEP security encryption on the router, you may want to use one or more of the following security measures: ■ Change the default network name (SSID) and password. ■ Use a firewall. ■ Set security on your Web browser. ■ Enable MAC address filtering on the router.
