Restricting wireless access prevents intruders from connecting to your network. However, the

wireless data transmissions are still vulnerable to snooping. Using the WEP data encryption

settings described below will prevent a determined intruder from eavesdropping on your wireless

data communications. Also, if you are using the Internet for such activities as purchases or

banking, those Internet sites use another level of highly secure encryption called SSL. You can tell

if a web site is using SSL because the web address begins with HTTPS rather than HTTP.

Authentication Type Selection

The DG834G lets you select the following wireless authentication schemes.

Note: If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer whose MAC address is

not in the Trusted Wireless Stations list, and you select Trusted Wireless Stations only,

you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the

router from a wired computer to make any further changes.
