Wireless Security Checklist Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Wireless Security Checklist Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted.
Installation Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Installation NOTE: To avoid interference, you may need to place a microfilter or splitter between the phone cable and wall jack. Contact your ISP to determine if one is required. (UK residents need to connect the microfilter to the wall phone jack with ADSL service and then connect one end of the provided phone cable to the DSL port on it.
