The essence of wireless network is usage of radio signals for communication. They travel outside home network; other wireless devices can pick up unprotected signals and connect to network, caught information which has not been sent yet.

One can have personal key or create different with selected options. Correct password allows user enter into the network from battery 4 us.

3. Wi-Fi protected access

WPa security settings are used to decrypt and encrypt data transmitted in the network. Static security key in WEP encryption is not used. Instead of it Temporal Integrity Protocol is dynamically generated with a new key for each packet.

4. Connection to the private network

Because the networks mostly transmit the default names, and all the computers in the neibourghoud can intrude to your data. While creating new working network station one should remember the SSID for connection new points in the net no matter whether it closed or there is no SSID broadcasting.

5. Public safety
