2‐7‐5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 security keys.

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 Outdoor Wireless-N Smart Repeater by

setting the ‘Broadcast ESSID’ option to ‘Disable’. Your Outdoor Wireless-N

Smart Repeater 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.
