10 Wi-Fi Security Tips & Tricks
- Always use encryption.
- Set your SSID name to a sophisticated long name with numbers and letters or a non-dictionary term.
- Do not broadcast your SSID (network name). Keep it hidden.
- Use MAC filtering to access control connecting IPs.
- Never use WEP encryption. Even WPA (TKIP) has been found to be vulnerable to attacks.
- Always use WPA2 (AES) encryption or better encryption.
- Set the auto change of the key to 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
- Make sure the password is a non-dictionary term using a combination of at least ten letters and numbers.
- Implement firewall protection from the wireless access point and to the network.
- Make sure the web interface on the wireless access point is firewalled and not accessible to intruders.
