Security

You will find information about possible security risks for the device and the network on
the Security screen in the Status menu.
System password not changed
u
The configuration program of the device is not sufficiently protected against unau-
thorised access either because you have not changed the system password since set-
ting up the device or you have not assigned any system password at all. Information
on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section "System Password" on page 96.
Identification of your wireless network visible or not changed
u
Unauthorised users can also find the wireless network easily as you have not
changed the ID of the wireless network (SSID) since setup and have not deactivated
SSID broadcasting. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section
"Configuring wireless connections" on page 67.
Encryption for your wireless network not activated
u
None of the data in the wireless network is encrypted during transfer and can there-
fore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised users will also have easy access to your net-
work, your PCs and your Internet connection. Information on how to avoid this secu-
rity risk is given in Section "Security settings in the wireless network" on page 69.
Access to your wireless network not restricted to allowed clients
u

security risk is given in Section "Permitted clients" on page 74.
Firewall for your Internet connection turned off
