2-7-6 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 (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 Smart Repeater by setting the ‘Broadcast
ESSID’ option to ‘Disable’. Your wireless 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.
