Before You Begin: Understanding Wireless Security

Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so homes with high-speed 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. Because you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting to your wireless network, you need to take some additional steps to keep your network secure.

NOTE The Setup Wizard guides you through the process of completing the tasks that are

described below. You are strongly encouraged to use the Setup Wizard for initial configuration of the WRP400.

Change the Default Wireless Network Name or SSID

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. To distinguish your wireless network from other wireless networks that may exist around you, you should change the default wireless network name to something easily recognizable, 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. For more information, see “Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings,” on page 51.

Cisco WRP400 User Guide 16

Page 19

Before You Begin: Understanding Wireless Security

Change the Default Router Password

When you connect to the administration web server, you will be asked for a password. The WRP400 has a default password set by the factory. The default password is admin. Hackers know the defaults and may try to use them to access your wireless device and change your network settings. To prevent unauthorized access, change the password to one that is hard to guess. For more information, see “Administration > Management,” on page 88.

Enable MAC Address Filtering for Wireless Access

The Cisco WRP400 gives 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. For more information, see “Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter,” on

page 62.

Enable Encryption

Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and Wired Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security for wireless communication.

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.

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

For more information, see “Wireless > Wireless Security,” on page 56.

Cisco WRP400 User Guide 17

Page 20

Before You Begin: Understanding Wireless Security

General Network Security Guidelines

Wireless network security is effective only when combined with good network security practices.

• 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.

Additional Security Tips

To help prevent security problems, follow these guidelines:

• 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.

- Wireless Network Name (SSID): The default wireless network uses

this name: “cisco” followed by the last four digits of the wireless MAC address of the WRP400. To rename the default wireless network, enter a unique Wireless Network Name, which is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. You can use any of the characters on the keyboard. To create a second wireless network, select Network Enabled for the SSID2 setting. Then enter a unique Wireless Network Name.

NOTE If you are unable to configure the SSID2 settings, contact your service

provider for more information.

- SSID Broadcast Enabled: When wireless clients survey the local area

for wireless networks, they detect the SSID broadcast by the WRP400. If you want to broadcast the SSID, keep the check box selected. If you do not want to broadcast the SSID, deselect the check box.

- For Internet Access Only: On your second wireless network (SSID2),

you can set up guest access, which allows access to the Internet while blocking access to your local network. For example, a guest cannot access the data stored on your local computers. To limit guests to Internet access only, keep the check box selected. To allow local network access, deselect the check box.

NOTE The For Internet Access Only feature applies only to SSID2.

Wireless > Wireless Security

You can use the Wireless Security page to configure the security of your wireless network(s). The WRP400 supports the following wireless security mode options: WPA Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, and WEP.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an older security standard. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a newer security standard that is stronger than WEP encryption. 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.

These options are briefly discussed here. For additional guidelines, refer to

Chapter 2, “Before You Begin: Understanding Wireless Security.”

NOTE If you used Wi-Fi Protected Setup to configure your wireless network(s), then

wireless security has already been set up for your primary wireless network. Do not make changes to the Wireless Security screen for your primary wireless network.

NOTE After you enter settings on this page, click Save Settings to apply your changes, or

System or Shared Key authentication to be used. With Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do not use a WEP key for authentication. With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. Select Shared Key to only use Shared Key authentication.

• Transmission Rate: The rate of data transmission should be set depending

on the speed of your wireless network(s). You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the WRP400 automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the AutoFallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the WRP400 and a wireless client. The default is Auto.

• CTS Protection Mode: The WRP400 will automatically use CTS (Clear-To-

Send) Protection Mode when your Wireless-G products are experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit to the WRP400 in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This function boosts the ability of the WRP400 to catch all Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease performance. The default is Auto.

• Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The

Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the WRP400 to synchronize the wireless network(s). The default value is 100.

• DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the

Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the WRP400 has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1.

• RTS Threshold: If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor

reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The WRP400 sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value of 2347.
