Set up Data Encryption and Authentication
In a home wireless network, you can use a variety of simple security procedures to protect
your wireless connection. These include:
● Enable Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
● Change your password
● Change the network name (SSID)
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption provides protection for your data on the network.
WPA uses an encryption key called a Pre-Shared Key (PSK) to encrypt data before
