3-6-6 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 for your password, such as “password” or

“1234567890”.

2. A complicated (combination of numbers, alphabets, and even symbols)

WEP key and WPA passphrase is more secure than simple and short

words. 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. Once you have chosen a password, write it down and

keep it in a secure place.

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 are using the Access Point scanning function

of their wireless client, and this can reduce unauthorized access.

4. Use ‘Access Control’ function, described in section 3-6-4, to allow

authorized users access to the wireless router using their specific MAC

address.
