computers to
access your
wireless network

anti-spyware
software and a
firewall
change your
router’s pre-set
password for
administration
turn off identifier
broadcasting

Further Advised
• Change the router login password frequently
• Change the wireless WPA password frequently
• Avoid temptation to connect to open wireless just looking for free
internet.
• We can configure DHCP more tightly.
Example
I have 3 machines at home, I’ll create a IP pool of 3 IPs only
I’ll do DHCP reservation using the MAC of these 3 IP
Effectively I’m not allowing any outsider machine to connect
• We can configure MAC binding.
Allow only MY machines to connect
Many access points support MAC binding
Any other machine will not be able to connect to my Wi-Fi
