I just bought a DLink Wireless Router (DI-524). It was actually not
too bad to set up but I do have a couple of concerns re: security.
I am wondering which settings I need to be attentive to so I can
ensure I don't get outsiders surfing or exploring on my bandwidth.
Right now, in the OS X.4 Airport settings under system preferences,
I just have the network set to default. Trying to set up any other
kind of network seems to cut my connection completely. I only have
the Powerbook - no other computers right now so of course, the cable
modem cable runs directly into the router, allowing me to surf
wirelessly from anywhere in my place.
When I ran the set up program for the router, I used the lower
encryption level.
Any recommendations on security settings would be much appreciated,
Thanks,
Amber
