Status information
u
Identification of your wireless network visible or not changed
Your wireless network will also be easy for unauthorised users to find as you have
not changed the ID of your wireless network (SSID) since setup and you have not
deactivated the SSID broadcast. The section entitled "Setting encryption" on page 53
describes how to avoid this security risk.
u
Encryption for your wireless network not activated
None of the data in your wireless network is encrypted when transmitted and can
therefore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised users can also easily access your net-
work, your PCs and your Internet connection by this means. The section entitled
"Setting encryption" on page 53 describes how to avoid this security risk.
u
Access to your wireless network not restricted to allowed clients
This is only displayed in Access point and Repeater operating modes.
Users can access your wireless network from any PC. The section entitled "Permitted
clients" on page 58 describes how to avoid this security risk.
