It is important because you (the client) do not want all of your information to be eavesdropped upon by someone with malicious intent. This includes any sensitive information such as credit information, history, social security numbers, bank numbers, etc.

∙ 9y agoIf you use an 'open' wi-fi network, other people will be able to use your wi-fi to acess the internet. If you're on a plan that is capped - ie - you have a maximum usage allowance per month - other peoples usage of your equipment will eat into your allowance.
Encrypting your wi-fi connection with a strong password ensures that you and only you can use your wi-fi router !
