LeapFrog cares about your privacy and peace
of mind. That’s why we’ve put together a list of
industry-recommended best practices to help keep
your wireless connection private and your devices
protected when online.
Ensure your wireless connection is secure
• Before installing a device, ensure your router’s
wireless signal is encrypted by selecting the
“WPA2-PSK with AES” setting in your router’s
wireless security menu.
Change default settings
• Change your wireless router’s default wireless
network name (SSID) to something unique.
• Change default passwords to unique, strong
passwords. A strong password:
- Is at least 10 characters long.
- Does not contain dictionary words or personal
information.
- Contains a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase
letters, special characters and numbers.
Keep your devices up to date
• Download security patches from manufacturers
as soon as they become available. This will ensure
you always have the latest security updates.
• If the feature is available, enable automatic
updates for future releases.
Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your
router
• UPnP enabled on a router can limit the
effectiveness of your firewall by allowing other
network devices to open inbound ports without
any intervention or approval from you. A virus or
other malware program could use this function
to compromise security for the entire network.
