Introduction

v1.0, November 2005

Protect my
wireless
connection

(from snooping,
hacking, or
information
theft).

1. Assure that the

wireless network
has security
features enabled.

2. Configure my

WPNT834 with the
security settings of
the wireless
network.

3. Use Windows

security features.

• A wireless network WEP or

WPA security enabled.

• Wireless networking

equipment that supports
WEP or WPA, such as the
WPNT834.

To learn about wireless
networking security, see

“Wireless Communications” in
Appendix B

.

To use WEP security features,
see

“Implementing Appropriate

Wireless Security” on page 4-2

and configure your WPNT834
accordingly.

Note: Secure Internet sites such as banks and online merchants use encryption security built into browsers
like Internet Explorer and Netscape. Any wireless networking security features you might implement are in
addition to those already in place on secure Internet sites.
