About GoFlex Satellite™ Wi-Fi Security
Since GoFlex Satellite is a wireless broadcasting device, it can be “seen” by any Wi-Fi device
within its range (up to 45 meters/147 feet).
If you use GoFlex Satellite for backup as well, be aware that your files are visible to any
device that connects to your GoFlex Satellite. You can set a password to restrict access to
GoFlex Satellite, but you may not want to use GoFlex Satellite to store your important
information. See “Setting a Password” on page 33 to restrict access to your GoFlex Satellite.
