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. 154.
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.

settings", p. 153.
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. 83.
