Access from unknown users?

Hey guys, I just got a My Book Live 2TB and I have it connected to my WLAN router, which has a password.

I have my Desktop directly connected to the router by LAN cable and my Macbook Air is connected wirelessly and also has access to the My Book Live. 

My question, however, is if, due to the My Book Live being accessible by WLAN, it is accessible or visible to people who do not have my WLAN password. I haven’t been able to test it myself, and I hope someone can give me some insight on this matter and maybe add some extra security to the device.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers,

No.  If they’re not on your WLAN network, then they can’t access it.

Thank you very much!

Cheers.
