3.5.2.Securing your WiFi network
Creating a WiFi network is very useful if you have several wireless computers or devices, but how can you
avoid having someone on the outside connect to your network without permission or intercept your
unencrypted data exchanges? Thanks to the WiFi Manager N, you can define your own security choices. To
help you select the best level of security for your network, we invite you to consult the table below, which sums
up the 5 types of security supported by WiFi Manager N.
