Configure your Wi-Fi client devices (laptops, handsets, and other Wi-Fi enabled products) to enable security protections.

Configure for approved connections: Many devices are set by default to sense and automatically connect to any available wireless signal. The Wi-Fi Alliance recommends that you configure your device to not automatically connect to an open network without your approval.

Disable sharing: Your Wi-Fi enabled devices may automatically enable themselves to sharing / connecting with other devices when attaching to a wireless network. File and printer sharing may be common in business and home networks, but you should avoid this in a public network such as a hotel, restaurant, or airport hotspot
