  Wireless Security
  
 
1. Don't use default SSID. Create a new unique SSID that
   is easy for you to remember, but not easy for others
   to guess.
  
2. Don't broadcast SSID.
  
3. Use at minimum WPA security encryption. If your
   wireless router supports WPA2 use this higher level
   encryption standard.
  
4. Create an encryption key that is complex greater than
   10 characters. At least 2 Characters, 1 capital
   letter, a combination of letters and numbers. Not
   easy for others to guess.
  
5. If your wireless router supports mac-address security
   utilize this more secure feature. This will only
   allow the devices you allow.
  
6. If your wireless router supports Guest mode, enable
   it. It will allow Guests to go to the Internet, but
   will not allow connectivity to your wireless devices.
