Title: How can I make my wifi more secure? Post by: bugibar on October 22, 2008, 05:24:26 pm I bought a new Linsys router, what should I do to make my wifi secure so that my neighbours would not be able to use my Internet? I head hacking WEP is quite easy.

How to make your wifi secure is a long story, so I suggest you look at the following links where they explain it quite well: Wireless Wi-Fi network security tutorial 101 (part 1) http://www.maxi-pedia.com/wireless+wifi+network+security+tutorial+101 WPA and WPA2 (Wi-Fi security tutorial - part 2) http://www.maxi-pedia.com/WPA+WPA2+WiFi+protected+access IPSec, VPN, architecture (wireless security tutorial - part 3) http://www.maxi-pedia.com/ipsec+vpn+wireless+architecture Secure your WLAN (wireless security tutorial - part 4) http://www.maxi-pedia.com/other+wireless+security+WLAN+considerations |
