access point lets you set a password up to 15 characters long. The
most secure passwords are usually between 8 and 15 characters long.
2. The access point will allow you to enter a space or other punctuation in your
password.
3. Use a mixture of upper (A through Z) and lower (a through z) case letters.
4. Adding numbers 0 through 9 to a password increases security.
5. Use ASCII symbols, such as ~ ! @ # $ % & ^ *, etc, to further increase the security
of your password.
MAC Filter
In this area you can control which wireless devices are allowed or denied access to the
access point based upon their MAC addresses. The MAC address can usually be found either
on a label on the external wireless product or in the configuration utility of the wireless
client, depending on the wireless device you are using.
