Security

You will find information about possible security risks for the device and the network on

the

Security

screen in the

Status

menu.

In the

Status

menu, select

Security

:

u

System password not changed

The configuration program of the device is not sufficiently protected against unau-

thorised access because you have not changed the system password since setting up

the device. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in the section "Sys-

tem Password" on page 122.

u

Identification of your wireless network visible or not changed

Unauthorised users can also find the wireless network easily as you have not

changed the ID of the wireless network (SSID) since setup and have not deactivated

SSID broadcasting. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in the sec-

tion "Configuring wireless connections" on page 85.

u

Encryption for your wireless network not activated

None of the data in the wireless network is encrypted during

transfer and can therefore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised

users will also have easy access to your network, your PCs and

your Internet connection. Information on how to avoid this secu-

Status information

rity risk is given in the section "Starting WPS registration and configuring WPS" on

page 87.

u

Access to your wireless network not restricted to allowed clients

Users can access the wireless network from any PC. Information on how to avoid this

security risk is given in the section "Permitted clients" on page 95.

u

Firewall for your Internet connection turned off

The network is not protected against hackers who gain unauthorised access via the

Internet. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in the section "Fire-

wall" on page 69.

u

Address translation for your Internet connection turned off

The clients in the network are not protected against unauthorised access via the

Internet. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in the section "Set-

ting up the NAT function" on page 73.

u

One or more of your local clients directly exposed to the Internet

At least one client in the network is directly visible on the Internet as an exposed host

and is therefore particularly exposed to the risk (e.g. through hacker attacks). Only

activate this function if it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and

other functions (e.g. Port forwarding) are not suitable. In this case, you should take

the appropriate measures on the clients concerned. Information on how to avoid

this security risk is given in the section "Opening the firewall for a selected PC

(Exposed Host)" on page 78.
