Hi!
In some days I will get a DSL-connection and because of making the
contract I got a WLAN-router. In spite of having a flat I do not want to
have the next hotspot in berlin ;)
What's the best to secure the thing?
I did the following:
1. Changing the standard admin-pass ;)
2. The network will be hidden (so it will be not seen if you do not use
special tools)
3. 128-WEP-encryption (WPA caused some errors thus I used WEP - neither
got a connection with mac os x nor with win xp - and my linux computer
has no wlan)
4. MAC-filtering
5. Living ca. 10 m above the street and have walls which have a very
good shielding ;)
Any other things I should look out for in the admin-software of the router?
Thanks in advcance
Niels
P.s.: To all who join the nomikai at the 10th - have fun, would like to
join it if I would be in Tokyo
