Wireless Security Options
Anyone with a compatible wireless adapter can receive your wireless data transmissions well
beyond your walls. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The
access point provides highly effective security features, which are covered in detail in this
chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate for your needs.
You can enhance the security of your wireless network in several ways:
• Use
the WPA2 or WPA security option. A security option is the type of
security protocol
applied to your wireless network. The security protocol encrypts data transmissions and
ensures that only trusted devices receive authorization to connect to your network.
Several types of encryption are available: Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2), WPA, and
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
- WPA2 is the latest and most secure. NETGEAR recommends that you u
se this option
if your equipment supports it.
