Configuring Wireless Networks
314 Check Point Safe@Office User Guide
Note: For increased security, it is recommended to enable the Safe@Office internal
VPN Server for users connecting from your internal networks, and to install
SecuRemote/SecureClient/L2TP/Endpoint Connect on each computer in the wireless
network. This ensures that all connections from the wireless network to the LAN are
encrypted and authenticated. For information, see Internal VPN Server on page 606
and Setting Up Your Safe@Office Appliance as a VPN Server on page 607.
Configuring Wireless Networks
Note: It is recommended to configure wireless networks via Ethernet and not via a
wireless connection, because the wireless connection could be broken after making
a change to the configuration.
