Annex 2 :Wireless network security

Attention

Since wireless computer networks use radio signals, it is possible for other wireless network devices outside your immediate area to pick up the wireless signals and either connect to your network or to capture the network traffic.

Consult the user manual supplied with your wireless Access point or wireless Ethernet bridge for further information.

DO

Viruses, spyware and other malicious programs can undermine the security of your network. Use the appropriate software to protect your PC from these threats.

Change the default passwords for your network devices. Leaving these at default makes it easy for an outsider to gain access.

Note: If you change passwords, write them down and store them in a safe location.

Use a router or a Wireless Access Point with Network Address Translation (NAT) or a firewall.

In a wireless network, enable the highest WEP key level that your hardware provides for. Upgrade your hardware, if possible. If you do not protect your wireless network, all data from your PC might be accessible to, for example, your neighbours or passers-by.

Switch off SSID broadcast on the Wireless Access Point.

Position your Wireless Access Point away from windows and towards the centre of your home. This decreases the strenght of the signal outside your home.

Some access points can control access based on the unique MAC address of the network devices trying to connect to it. See the documentation of your network devices to retrieve the MAC addresses.

For the MAC address of your TV, see Annex 3, Manual Network Installation,View Network settings, p.13.

DON’T

Don’t rely on radio transmission range limitations to secure your network.

Don’t use WEP/WPA keys and passwords that are easy to guess.

Don’t use passphrases to secure your wireless network as incompatibility with other brands of wireless network devices may occur.
