Your boss calls you from the road. She is trying to connect to the local hotel guest wireless network but there is a yellow shield displayed beside that particular wireless selection. She is asking you what that shield means. What do you tell her?
The yellow shield displayed beside the wireless network selection typically indicates that the network is secured with WPA or WPA2 encryption. This means that in order to connect to the network and access the internet, your boss would need to enter a password or network key. You can advise her to contact the front desk of the hotel and ask for the password to connect to the network. They should be able to provide her with the necessary information to connect securely.
