Wireless Security Checklist
Chapter 2: Wireless Security Checklist
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. Since
you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting
to your wireless network, you need to take some additional
steps to keep your network secure.
1. 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. Linksys wireless products
use linksys as the default wireless network name. 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.
2. Change the default password
For wireless products such as access points, routers, and
gateways, 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.
4. 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.
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.
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.
3. Enable MAC address filtering
Linksys routers and gateways 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.

Installation
Chapter 3: Installation
Linksys strongly recommends that you run the Setup CDROM. If you have problems running the Setup CD-ROM,
use this chapter.
Connection
Make sure that all the devices that you are working 1.
with are powered down, including your computer(s)
and the Gateway. If you have a modem connected
to your network, disconnect it. The Gateway replaces
your modem.
Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to 2.
your computer’s Ethernet adapter. Connect the other
end of the Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports
on the back of the Gateway.
Connect the Computer
Repeat step 2 for every computer or device that you 3.
want to connect to the Gateway via Ethernet. If you
connect more than four computers to the Gateway,
you also need to connect a switch to the Gateway.
NOTE: If your computer’s Ethernet adapter
is not set up, refer to the Ethernet adapter’s
documentation for more information.
Connect one end of the phone cable to the DSL port 4.
on the back of the Gateway.
NOTE: To avoid interference, you may need to
place a microfilter or splitter between the phone
cable and wall jack. Contact your ISP to determine
if one is required. (UK residents need to connect
the microfilter to the wall phone jack with ADSL
service and then connect one end of the provided
phone cable to the DSL port on it.) If you have
more than one phone and you experience static
on the line after installing the Gateway, then you
need to install an additional microfilter for each
phone or fax that you use. If you use ISDN, then
you do not need a microfilter.
