Wireless networks
This type of network is gaining popularity because it is fairly cheap and easy to handle and allows you to go online wherever you choose to place your PC in your home.
Others can monitor traffic on your network
As wireless networks are standard programs with a range that exceeds the boundaries of your home, it will be possible for someone outside your home to monitor traffic on your network and use your Internet connection via a portable PC.
It is always a good idea to encrypt traffic on a wireless network if your network program allows it.
Follow the recommendations for protection
The most common practice is to connect a router directly to the Internet connection and, when you use wireless adapters on any PCs, to connect the adapters to the router. In this case, the wireless section of the network may be considered part of the Internet. You should follow the recommendations about protection of PCs against attacks both from the Internet and from the wireless network section in your home.
Encrypt internal networks
If you use a wireless network connecting several active PCs in your home in order to share resources on the internal network (for instance Internet connection, network printer, shared hard drive sections, etc.), you should always use an encrypted network and protect your PC.
