Wireless Encryption

Conﬁgure the encryption of the GlobeSurfer

III wireless network. The ‘No encryp-

tion’ option should only be used during installation of your network to simplify the

set-up procedure.

Add encryption to your wireless network to prevent unauthorised trafﬁc monitoring

and access, as soon as your local wireless network has been set up. Conﬁgure

your wireless PC clients to use the same encryption type and keys, otherwise the

devices will not understand each other.
