2-7-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network
Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your
wireless network:
1. Never use simple words (like school, apple and computer) as WEP
encryption or WPA passphrase.
2. A complicated (combination of numbers, alphabets, and even symbols)
WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than simple and short
ones. Remember that the wireless client is capable of keeping the key
or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the complicated key
or passphrase once.
3. You can hide the ESSID of this router by setting the 'Broadcast
ESSID' option to 'Disable'. Your wireless router will not be found by
other people in proximity if they're just using the AP scanning
function of their wireless client, and this can reduce the chance of
being intruded.
4. Use 'Access Control' function described in section 2-7-4, so those
people who are not in your list will not be able to connect to your
network.
