By Mitz Free computer Education Don't think that you are safe from intruders accessing your wireless network just because you are in the safety of your own home. Someone may want to get to your information for some reason, you never know. Do you want your neighbours having access to your internet connection, downloading files, and racking up bills. That's how easy it is if you have no wireless network security. You can implement various types of security with a wireless network through settings on your router. If you have any passwords, be sure to write them all down. Here are some different types of security you can use with a wireless network. WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) works by establishing a shared key between the clients (network cards) and the wireless router, then using the key to encrypt and de-encrypt the data passing between them. Most routers offer both 64-bit encryption and 128-bit encryption. It is usually a 10 number key for 64-bit, and a 22 number key for 128-bit. If you do not know this number, you cannot enter the wireless network.
For instructions on how to setup these different network security types, consult your router manual, or online instructions for your particular brand. Browse Sitemap for more Free Computer Help
