Wireless Security Checklist
Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed
Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace.
Wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves. As a
result, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like
signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network
can also be intercepted.
Because you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting to your
wireless network, you need to take some additional steps to keep your network
secure.
Security Checklist
The following is a complete list of security precautions to take (you should follow
at least steps 1 through 6):
1. Change the default SSID. (See Change the Default Wireless Network Name
or SSID, page 81.)
2. Disable SSID Broadcast. (See Disable SSID Broadcast, page 81.)
3. Change the default password for the Administrator account. (See Change the
Default Password, page 81.)
4. Change the password for the Administrator account regularly. (See Change the
Administrator’s Password Regularly, page 81.)
5. Enable MAC Address Filtering. (See Enable MAC Address Filtering, page 82.)
6. Change the SSID periodically. (See Change the SSID Periodically, page 82.)
7. Use the highest encryption algorithm possible. (See Enable Encryption,
page 82.)
