Implement Appropriate Wireless Security

Warning: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11g wireless networks at a
maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside
of your immediate area to access your network.
Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and
can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of
your wireless equipment. The wireless ADSL modem router provides highly effective security
features which are covered in detail in full reference manual that is available from a link on the CD
as well as a link in the main menu of your router. Follow the instructions in the full manual and in
the router help screens to deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.
