Wireless Routers and Security
Wireless routers hold the benefit of mobility in and around the office. Rather than having to dock at a station to connect to the network and the internet, workers can move around the office with their notebooks.
Wireless routers can also be used in estates to connect all the houses or units to the internet. One drawback of wireless routers is security as hackers can easily break into networks and signals. In this aspect many people fear confidentiality breaches. Understandably people don’t want to compromise network security for the sake of mobility. In this regard, WD also provides a solution called the WD Guard.
The WD Guard is placed at the client’s premise and acts as firewall to effectively block out any intrusion attempts. It also holds the benefit of adequately controlling access to the Internet by:
- Restricting access to the Internet for employees with low productivity until specific tasks have been completed.
- Managing bandwidth allocation to ensure that priority is given to assigned traffic.
- Through advanced proxy settings web browsing speed can be increased while blacklisted sites such as game, pornography, and time wasters such as Facebook, are blocked.
In addition the WD Guard also provides email protection for the networks operating through wireless routers. This means that spam can effectively blocked without compromising legitimate emails as a list of blocked messages is provided on which legitimate messages can be marked and blocking undone also for the future incoming messages.
