Network Security
When connecting your smart device, use a network that supports Wi-Fi 802.11n. We
recommend that you secure this network using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 (Wi-Fi
Protected Access II) as your security protocol.

wireless access point may allow malicious parties to see your Wi-Fi signals, perform harmful
actions, and view communications between the two smart devices. When no secure access
