Wireless Security

what is wireless security ?


Wireless security is the prevention of unauthorized access or damage to computers using wireless networks. The most common types of wireless security are Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).


How do you secure the network ?


If your network is not encrypted, enable encryption on the wireless security settings page of your wireless router. There are different forms of encryption, but we suggest that you use the Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) version because it is stronger than other versions such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WPA.

Which wireless encryption method is the most secure?

We don't recommend using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) as your wireless security method. Wi‑Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) is more secure. If you tryWPA or WPA2 and they don't work, we recommend that you upgrade your network adapter to one that works with WPA or WPA2.
