Resource Page to Configure WPA Security
Wireless Broadband Network Setup
For those of you who are clueless about securing your home wireless networks, here's a list of resources you can make reference to. In short, here's a checklist to secure your home wireless network and router.
  1. Secure your access to the admin page of your router with a complex password. A complex password contains a mixture of letters, numbers and symbols. E.g. (Compl3xPa55word) is a complex password.
  2. Give your wireless router a SSID name and set it not to broadcast the SSID. This means anyone who wants to connect to your router must already now the SSID name before he can connect his computer to your router.
  3. Set your router's wireless security to use WPA or WPA2 encryption. See the resources below on how to set this for various models of routers.
  4. If you really, really want to secure your wireless network such that only your authorised computers can connect to, you can configure your router to only allow the MAC addresses of your computers to connect to your network.
