RE: Suggesstions on Wi-Fi security!!!
Hi,
Your friend can configure his wireless connection to use a WEP encryption. If his card supports WPA encryption he would rather use it. He can also configure his router to use address mac filtering. Change the default SSID and the router's default password. Though all these measures are still weak as security options. But he can limit dangers a bit if he does what i suggest. I hope it would help a bit. |

Wi-Fi' is not a technical term. However, the Alliance has generally enforced its use to describe only a narrow range of connectivity technologies including wireless local area network (WLAN) based on the IEEE 802.11 standards, device to device connectivity [such as Wi-Fi Peer to Peer AKA Wi-Fi Direct], and a range of technologies that support PAN, LAN and even WAN connections.
