May 19, 2006, Newsletter Issue #16: Securing your system

Tip of the Week

One of the not-so-known pitfalls of creating a wireless network system is security. Sending data through radio waves could be prime pickings for hackers. However, there are a couple of measures you can take to reduce the chances of this happening. First, if you have an infrastructure system you may want to beef up security on your router or base station. You can do this by setting a password to access the system. Also, create an encryption setting for sending all of your data. This will scramble all messages sent so they can’t be intercepted mid route.
