Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals
f
rom
y
our wireless network can also be intercepted. Since
you cannot physically prevent someone
f
rom connecting
to your wireless network, you need to take some additional
steps to
k
eep
y
our networ
k
secure.
1. Change the default wireless
network name or SSID
W
ireless devices have a default wireless network name
or Service Set Identi
f
ier (SSID) set b
y
the
f
actor
y
. This
i
s the name o
f
your wireless network, and can be up
to 32 characters in length. Linksys wireless products
use
l
in
k
s
y
sas the de
f
ault wireless network name. You
should chan
g
e the wireless network name to somethin
g
u
nique to distinguish your wireless network from other
wire
l
ess networ
k
s t
h
at ma
y
exist aroun
d
y
ou,
b
ut
d
o not
u
se personal in
f
ormation (such as your Social Security
n
umber) because this information may be available for
a
n
y
one to see when browsing
f
or wireless networks.
2. Change the default password
For wire
l
ess pro
d
ucts suc
h
as access points an
d
routers,
you will be asked
f
or a password when you want to change
their settings. These devices have a default password set
by
the
f
actor
y
. The Links
y
s de
f
ault password is a
d
mi
n
.
Hackers know these de
f
aults and may try to use them
to access your wireless device and change your networ
k
settings. To t
h
wart an
y
unaut
h
orize
d
c
h
anges, customize
the device’s password so it will be hard to
g
uess
.
3. Enable MAC address filtering
Linksys routers give you the ability to enable Media Access
Control (MAC) address filtering. The MAC address is a
u
nique series o
f
numbers and letters assigned to ever
y
n
etworkin
g
device. With MAC address
f
ilterin
g
enabled,
wireless network access is provided solely for wireless
devices with speci
f
ic MAC addresses. For example,
y
ou can
speci
f
y the MAC address o
f
each computer in your home
so that only those computers can access your wireless
n
etwor
k
.
4. Enable encryption
Encr
y
ption protects
d
ata transmitte
d
over a wire
l
ess
n
etwork. Wi-Fi Protected Access
(
WPA/WPA2
)
and Wired
Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security
f
or wireless communication
.
A
network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure
than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2
u
ses d
y
namic ke
y
encr
y
ption. To protect the in
f
ormation
a
s it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the
highest level of encryption supported by your networ
k
equ
i
pment.
W
EP is an older encryption standard and may be the
only option available on some older devices that do not
support WPA.
