Other guidelines

To keep the wireless network secure, follow these guidelines:

Use a password with at least 20 random characters. You can use up to 63 characters in a WPA password.

Avoid any common words or phrases, easy sequences of characters (such as all 1s), and personally-identifiable information for passwords. Always use random strings composed of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and if allowed, special characters such as punctuation.

Change the password periodically.

Change the default password provided by the manufacturer for administrator access to the access point or wireless router. Some routers let you change the administrator name as well.

Place the access point or router in the center of a room and not near a window.

Turn off administrative access over wireless if possible. If you do this, you need to connect to the router with a wired Ethernet connection when you want to make configuration changes.

Turn off remote administrative access over the Internet on your router, if possible. You can use Remote Desktop to make an encrypted connection to a computer running behind your router and make configuration changes from the local computer you are accessing over the Internet.

To avoid accidentally connecting to another party's wireless network, turn off the setting to automatically connect to non-preferred networks. This is disabled by default in Windows XP.
