Key Takeaway: Although this is a feature of a wireless network, it can be a disadvantage. Any passerby can get hold of this beacon and access the wireless network. Two things to be taken care of are:
1. Protect the network with a password.
2. Set the beacon interval as high as possible to minimize the chances of unauthorized access.
