Ubuntu Securing your Wi-Fi network with a password is the first step but its efficacy is very low if the security method chosen is WEP. It is possible to "sniff" data being exchanged on a wireless network.
This means that if the wireless network is "open" requires no password , a hacker can access any information transferred between a computer and the wireless router. Not having your Wi-Fi network password-protected also creates problems such as an intruder piggy-backing on your Internet connection, thereby slowing it down or even illegally downloading copyrighted content.
Seucring a Wi-Fi network with a password is, therefore, absolutely essential. WEP and WPA are the two security methods supported almost universally by routers and the devices that connect to them, such as computers , printers, phones or tablets. It allows the use of a bit or bit key.
However, researchers discovered vulnerabilities in WEP in and proved that it was possible to break into any WEP network by using a brute-force method to decipher the key. Using WEP is not recommended. WPA2 has two flavors - personal and enterprise. This would initiate a connection process and your printer would connect to the Wi-Fi router in a few seconds. WPS is the easiest way to join a wireless network and a lot of manufactures have built their wireless products with WPS.
With Access Control feature you can either allow or block devices from joining your network. Every network adapter has a MAC address MAC address is a hexadecimal number that uniquely identifies each device on a network. However, keep in mind that MAC address can be easily spoofed.
