2-7-3 Wireless Security
It’s very important to set wireless security settings properly!
If you don’t,
hackers and malicious users can reach your network and valuable data
without your consent and this will cause serious security problems.
To set wireless security settings, Please click ‘Wireless’ menu at the top
of web management interface, then click ‘Security Settings’, then follow
the following instructions to set wireless security settings:
Please select an encryption method from ‘Encryption’ dropdown menu,
there are four options:
2-7-3-1 Disable wireless security
When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled, and every
wireless device in proximity will be able to connect your wireless router
if no other security measure is enabled (like MAC address access control
- see section 2-7-4, or disable ESSID broadcast).
Only use this option when you really want to allow everyone to use your
wireless router, and you don’t care if there’s someone that reads the
data you transfer over the network without your consent.
