Just installed my first wireless printer on my laptop through my network. Seemed to go ok. Is there a security risk using the WPA button where other users could also connect to my network. I ended up using the connect to my computer option when it failed. Is there any risk to using my printer to print online bank statements? Basically, How secure am I.
I do figure its risky connecting to an un-secured network such as a hot spot or hotel network when not at home.
If this is a repeat question I don't want to be a nuisance. Please let me know the link and I'll read through. I'm new to these wireless hardware hookups other than bluetooth speakers and such.
I spoke to one knowledgable person and he said unless someone knows the key they can't access it. At the same time he said to make sure the software is always up to date for the most protection. Why do I need protection if it can't be accessed???
Thanks
ps what's this about message tags??? Can you tell that I'm new
