INTRODUCTION

5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL

Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and

are used where security is important. Secure connections include:

• Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often

used to connect remotely to an office network

• The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America

Online (AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband

provided by another cable or DSL service

• Most online banking websites

• Many commercial websites that require a user

name and password to access your account

Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power

management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The simplest

solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by re-running the

VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website.

A second alternative is to change your computer’s power

management settings so it does not go to sleep; however,

this may not be appropriate for portable computers. To

change your power management setting in Windows,

see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel.

If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections,

VPNs, and AOL, please review steps 1–4 in the previous

pages to be sure you have addressed these issues.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible

area with your wireless router. Should you need to cover an even wider

area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.
