Wireless network refers to any type of computer network that is wireless, and is commonly associated with a telecommunications network whose interconnections between nodes is implemented without the use of wires. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented with some type of remote information transmission system that uses electromagnetic waves, such as radio waves, for the carrier and this implementation usually takes place at the physical level or "layer" of the network. A wireless network is more vulnerable, because anyone can try to break into a network broadcasting a signal.
For example, a network set up in your home might be accessible by your next-door neighbor.
Use a wireless base station that provides built-in-security. Wireless Security, also known as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), is a wireless security protocol that helps protect your information by using a network key (called a WEP key) to encode, or encrypt, all network traffic before transmitting it over the airwaves. This helps prevent unauthorized users from accessing the data as it is being transmitted. The Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station uses WEP wireless security. The Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station provides a firewall to help protect your network against malicious transmissions and unsolicited requests for data. Just as the name implies, a firewall acts as a barrier or buffer zone between your local network and the Internet. It checks data being transmitted and requests for data that are sent to your network and discards any suspicious items.

Some precautions to take: (1) Position wireless components away from windows and toward the center of your home to decrease the strength of the radio signal outside your intended coverage area; (2) Do not give your wireless encryption key to anyone not authorized to use your network; (3) Avoid leaving the key or password information in an obvious place, make sure you are protecting all parts of your network, not just the wireless segment.
