Wireless Security Checklist

Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with highspeed Internet access are adopting them at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by sending information over radio waves, it can be more vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network. Like signals from your cellular or cordless phones, signals from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting to your wireless network, you need to take some additional steps to keep your network secure.

Enable MAC address filtering

Change the default wireless network name or SSID Enable encryption

Wireless devices have a default wireless network name or Service Set Identifier

(SSID) set by the factory. This is the name of your wireless network, and can be up to 32 characters in length. You should change the wireless network name to something unique to distinguish your wireless network from other wireless networks that may exist around you, but do not use personal information (such as your Social Security number) because this information may be available for anyone to see when browsing for wireless networks.

Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected

Access (WPA/WPA2) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication.

WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the only option available on some older devices that do not support WPA.

For wireless products such as access points and routers, you will be asked for a password when you want to change their settings. These devices have a default password set by the factory. The Linksys default password is admin.

Hackers know these defaults and may try to use them to access your wireless device and change your network settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes, customize the device’s password so it will be hard to guess.

Linksys routers give you the ability to enable Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering. The MAC address is a unique series of numbers and letters assigned to every networking device. With MAC address filtering enabled, wireless network access is provided solely for wireless devices with specific MAC addresses. For example, you can specify the MAC address of each computer in your home so that only those computers can access your wireless network.

A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2 uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the highest level of encryption supported by your network equipment.

General Network Security Guidelines

Wireless network security is useless if the underlying network is not secure. ••

Password protect all computers on the network and individually password protect sensitive files.

Change passwords on a regular basis.

Install anti-virus software and personal firewall software.

Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications may open file sharing without your consent and/or knowledge.

Wireless Security Checklist

Additional Security Tips

Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away from exterior walls and windows.

Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways off when they are not being used (at night, during vacations).

Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length.

Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be found in the dictionary.

Advanced Configuration

How to access the browser-based utility

Use a web browser to access the browser-based utility. If the media connector is connected to a network with a DHCP server (usually the network router), then the media connector will obtain its IP address from the DHCP server. If there is no DHCP server, then the media connector will use its default IP address, 10.100.1.1 (for example, if the media connector is not connected wirelessly to any device but is connected directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable). If you set a permanent static IP address on the media connector through the browser-based utility, then enter the static IP address instead.

NOTE If you do not know the media connector’s IP address, then find its

IP address in the DHCP clients table of your router. (Refer to the documentation for your router.) If you cannot locate the media connector’s IP address, you can reset the media connector; press the Reset button on the media connector for approximately five seconds, using a straightened paper clip. This will reset the media connector back to the factory default settings. The media connector will request an IP address from the DHCP server (usually the network router). If no DHCP server is found (for example, if the media connector is not connected wirelessly to any device but is connected directly to a computer with an Ethernet cable), then the media connector will use its default IP address, 10.100.1.1, until it detects a DHCP server and is assigned a dynamic IP address. Launch your web browser, and enter the media connector’s IP address (the default setting is 10.100.1.1) in the Address field. Press Enter. A password request screen appears. (Non-Windows 7 users will see a similar screen.) Leave the User name field blank. Enter the password you created. If you did not create a new password, use the default password admin. (You can set a new password from the Administration > Management screen.) Click OK to continue.

NOTE If the password request screen does not appear, wait two minutes and try again.

Advanced Configuration

The first screen that appears is the Basic Setup screen. Use this screen to change the browser-based utility’s language, or to change the media connector’s wired

Ethernet network settings.

This section determines if the media connector’s IP address is obtained automatically from a DHCP server, such as your network router (Automatic

Configuration - DHCP), or set manually (Static IP). Device IP If your network has a DHCP server, such as your network router, assigning IP addresses to your network devices, then keep the default, Automatic Configuration - DHCP. The media connector will request an IP address from the DHCP server (usually the network router). If no DHCP server is found, then the media connector will use its default static IP address, 10.100.1.1, until it detects a DHCP server and is assigned a dynamic IP address. If you want to set a permanent static IP address for the media connector, then select Static IP. If you select Static IP, then complete the following fields: ••

Static IP Address Enter a unique IP address that will be used to access the browser-based utility.

Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask of your wired network.

Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the default gateway for your network (in most cases, this is your router).

Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.
