Linksys WUMC710 Wireless Security Checklist Wireless Security Checklist Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with highspeed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace.

Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted.
Linksys WUMC710 Wireless Security Checklist Additional Security Tips •• Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away from exterior walls and windows. •• Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways off when they are not being used (at night, during vacations). •• Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length.
