Security
Security settings are used to prevent unauthorised connection to your network. This can be as basic as a neighbouring user who detects
and is able to connect through your wireless network, right through to actual malicious interference or ‘hacking’. Whatever the case, it is a
good practice to be aware of and to use wireless network security to safeguard your data and your network.
