Important security
information
When you configure your WLAN home network,
enable an encryption method on your access point
device, then on the other devices you intend to
connect to your home network. Refer to the
documentation of the devices. Keep any passcodes
secret and in a safe place separate from the devices.
You can view or change the settings of the WLAN
internet access point in your device.
See "Access
points", p. 171.
If you use the ad hoc operating mode to create a
home network with a compatible device, enable
one of the encryption methods in
WLAN security
mode
when you configure the internet access
point.
See "Connection settings", p. 171.
This step
reduces the risk of an unwanted party joining the
ad hoc network.
Your device notifies you if another device attempts
to connect to it and the home network. Do not
accept connection requests from an unknown
device.
If you use WLAN in a network that does not have
encryption, switch off sharing your files with other
devices, or do not share any private media files.

"Settings for home network", p. 87.
