• Choose your settings.
– Use a scanning utility to determine which other wireless networks are operating nearby,
and choose an unused channel.
– Turn off SSID Broadcast, and change the default SSID. Other nearby devices might
automatically try to connect to your network several times a second, which can cause
significant performance reduction.
Understanding Wireless Security
To protect your network from unauthorized access, use the security features of your wireless
equipment.
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.
