A Wireless Access Point is a device designed to allow wireless communication devices to connect to the wireless network. It uses Wi-Fi technology which can realy data between other wireless devices such as laptops, printers, and even desktop computer.
- Enforce the use of encryption other than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
- Position the Wireless Access Point at a strategic point, for example NOT too to the window.
- Turn- off DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and use static IP if possible for (Internet Protocol) other WLAN clients.
- Enable MAC-filtering. (Media Access Control)
At the command prompt, type ipconfig/all, and then press Enter.
If your computer has more than one network adapter, the physical address of each adapter is listed separately.
- Change the default SSID and switch off the function to broadcast SSID. It makes it easier for you to identify which wireless network is yours, if there is more than one nearby, because the SSID is typically shown in the list of available networks.
- Change the default administrator user ID and password at regular interval, for example every 6 months. Choose a strong password.
P/S: Your Privacy is nothing when it comes to Unsecure Wireless Network.
