Wireless Security
If your router comes with wireless capability, it has a piece of equipment called a Wireless Access
Point (
WAP ). A WAP can come within an all-in-one-gateway , router, or as a standalone unit. In
many cases, WAP’s security settings are toggled off by default and you must manually turn on the
security settings. If the security settings are toggled off, anyone can access your network and may
be able to get into the server and any computer or other device on your network. Firewalls and
anti-virus software do not keep intruders out of wireless networks.
Most wireless networking equipment supports two forms of data encryption as security features:
Wired Equivalent Privacy ( WEP )
Wi-Fi Protected Access ( WPA )
For more information on how to configure the security for your wireless network, see the user’s
guide that came with your networking equipment.
