3.7.6 Security Tips for Wireless Networks
Here are some quick tips to help you improve your wireless network’s security level:
1. Never use simple words (like school, apple, and computer) as a WEP encryption or WPA passphrase.
2. Choose a complicated WEP key and WPA passphrase: it’s much safer than simple and short ones. (For example, the passphrase
should be a combination of numbers, letters, even symbols, and it should be long enough.) Remember that the wireless client
can keep the key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the complicated key or passphrase once. This will greatly
improve security.
3. To hide the the router’s ESSID, set the Broadcast ESSID option to “Disable.” Your wireless router will not be found by other
people nearby if they’re just using their wireless client’s AP scanning function. This will increase security.
4. Use the Access Control function described in Section 3.7.4, so people who are not on your list will not be able to connect to
your network.
