First of all we must know that why we need an Network Security key. Does this is required, will the setup be messier, I am a novice how can I understand all this, etc. Note down one thing that this is extremely easy and everything on Windows environment is automated. You have to just read the screen instructions properly. I always worry about my Wireless network. I have a wifi router and when I set on I found through a Network Monitor Utility that most of the anonymous connections are detected. That means they are using my bandwidth for free. And that is not good for those who have limited surfing plan. Just think that your wifi network can be easily detected by others and if that is an unsecure network then your neighbor can enter and use your network for free. Your wifi network can easily come in the rage of any other user.
Without a users knowledge currently it is quiet easy to setup a wifi network or join any anonymous network. What I have to do is to just search for the same. The anonymous users can not only eat your bandwidth but they access to your share files and folders. So there is a great risk of losing your data and they can even send virus to your system. It just like right clicking and copy pasting files on your hard drive. Today technology is easy but not reliable. You can lose your valuable data or even face virus issue. So start using a Network Security Key and allow only those users to who you want to share your files and folders.
