Cisco WRP400 User Guide
Wireless network security is effective only when combined with good network
security practices.
•
Password protect all computers on the network and individually password
protect sensitive files.
•
Change passwords on a regular basis.
•
Install anti-virus software and personal firewall software.
•
Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications may open file sharing
without your consent and/or knowledge.
To help prevent security problems, follow these guidelines:
•
Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away from exterior walls
and windows.
•
Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways off when they are not
being used (at night, during vacations).
•
Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length.
Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be
found in the dictionary.
