How do I secure a wireless network (wireless router)?
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are inherently less secure than wired networks, but you can make it very, very difficult to break into your wireless network. Although this seems like a long list of instructions, if you print them off and go through them one at a time, they are not complicated. Some steps won’t apply to a household situation; some won’t apply to a mid-sized or larger office environment. If you have unusual security requirements, a large network, or if you want more background information, please consult the linked articles. If you are a high-value target or business that depends on its computers, we recommend periodic audits by an IT security professional to ensure that all vulnerabilities are protected against. This article provides background explanations of most of the steps in this FAQ. »www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3···5,00.
