How to Protect your Wireless Network

Having a home wireless network means that you can say goodbye to ethernet cables forever and turn every room into your office. But if you donÂ’t have the right security half your neighbours could end up poaching your broadband.

Protecting your network is essential if you want to keep your broadband fast, private and hacker-free.

There are a few ways to protect yourself and there are also different levels of security, from basic to the more advanced. But once these settings have been saved you will be safe and secure and ready to log on wherever you are.

Wireless encryption

To protect yourself from hackers you need to set up a WEP or WPA Personal (WPA-PSK) key.

  • WEP is a simple 64 or 128Bit encryption but offers limited security and is relatively easy to break
  • WPA-PSK, in the forms of WPA-TKIP which offers better security and is backwards compatible with older routers and USB keys, and WPA2-AES which offers the best security and better wireless performance but which is not compatible with all older hardware

You can set up your encryption key when setting up your wireless router, and there should be an explanation of how to do so in your instruction manual.

Internet security

In addition to having an encryption key, you also need to install a few other things:

  • A firewall
  • Anti-virus software
  • Anti-spyware software
  • Anti-phishing software

You also need to ensure that any software that you have installed is always up-to-date. Hackers are continually updating their methods and developing new viruses so make sure that you regularly run live updates on the internet to make sure that your version of windows and your anti-virus software is also up-to-date.

Name your wireless

Giving your wireless signal a name, or a service set identifier (SSID), is an easy way of identifying it and can be set at the time of installation. Doing this will also allow you to enhance your security settings using wireless isolation.

Wireless isolation

This is a way of hiding your wireless network so that other people cannot “see you”, making your network more private. Once you have set your SSID then you can change the settings on your router to isolate your wireless, making you “invisible”.

Access lists

Access lists give an added level of security to your network. As well as having to have the password for your network, any userÂ’s computers would also have to be on the access list. They would be identified by the computerÂ’s MAC code (like a fixed address) via the router.

Now that you have set your security, you can rest assured that no one else is using your broadband or hacking into your files.

If you plan to drive a car, ensure you understand everything about car insurance. Driving a car is a necessity these days for most people.

Accidents occur everyday and even a minor accident can easily cost you thousands of dollars. Auto insurance provides coverage against physical damage and bodily injuries sustained due to an accident. If you are new to auto insurance, it may seem complicated, but as a matter of fact, the basics of auto insurance are very simple and easy to understand.

Here are six basic coverage that are included in your auto insurance policy:

1. Bodily Injury Liability: This coverage covers the bodily injuries caused to others in an accident due to your (or someone else driving your car) negligence or mistake. The coverage also covers you and your family members if listed on the policy. The minimum bodily injury coverage to be bought by a driver is laid down by State laws; however, it is recommended that you buy more than the minimum amount required by the State, because most of the time, the minimum liability amount is not enough to cover all the damages.

2. Property Damage Liability: This coverage compensates for the damage caused to a property due to an accident. It can include damage suffered by the vehicle of the other driver involved in the accident or other properties such as street lamps, telephone poles, fences and more.

3. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or Medical Payments: This coverage type covers the medical expenses incurred during the treatment of injuries suffered by you and your passengers during an accident. Other than medical bills, PIP also covers lost wages, funeral cost and provides compensation in case of permanent loss of bodily function or disfigurement.

4. Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage: This coverage provides coverage for physical injury suffered by the insured and vehicle damages in case the driver responsible for the accident does not possess liability coverage (uninsured) or if his coverage is not enough to pay for the compensation (underinsured). It also pays for damages suffered as a result of a hit and run.

5. Comprehensive Coverage: This coverage compensates you for damages caused by factors other than an accident or collision. These factors include theft, natural disasters, explosions, contact with birds and animals or vandalism.

6. Collision Coverage: This particular coverage pays for the damage suffered by your car due to a collision with another car or stationary object. It also compensates for damages caused due to flipping over and potholes. This coverage will pay the cost to repair your car (minus the any deductible), even if you are at fault for causing the accident. If the accident is not due to your fault, your insurance provider may try to recover the amount paid to you by the insurance company of the other person who is at fault. If it succeeds in doing so, your deductible may also be returned.

If you are paying a car loan, it becomes mandatory to purchase collision coverage along with the comprehensive one. This helps car dealerships and lien holders, because if your vehicle is totaled during an accident, the car loan may be paid off using the insurance money.

WEP, or Wired Equivalent Privacy, is the name of the original technology for securing a wireless network. The name is at the very best commendable but at the very least extremely misleading. The technology never came close to the goal of securing wireless networks to a level that could be considered 'equivalent' to its hard-wired cousin.

WEP is a key-matching encryption protocol that uses a pass key for every client that wants access to the wireless network. This key must be an identical match in order to be granted a right to use the network resources. If this key does not exactly match, then the user is simply unable to login to the network.

The technology itself is not inherently bad. It is the way that WEP is implemented. It is fairly easy for someone unauthorized to gain access to the network by figuring out the network key. Once this key is obtained, they can login as any other person with permission to use the network granting them access to the resources or receiving all the information sent across the wireless network and even decipher it without you knowing that they are there!

Any snoop with a personal computer with wireless ability can download easy-to-use hacker tools and utilities that will enable anyone, not just a sophisticated hacker, to gain access to a WEP protected network.

The supposed and assumed strength of WEP is in the pass key. It can be up to 128-bits in length thus giving the impression that it will be very difficult for anyone to guess the pass-key. Technically, this is correct. It would be virtually impossible for someone to 'guess' this key. But as stated, there are software utilities that can 'sniff' the air for wireless signals, analyzed the type of network, intercept the stream of data and decrypt the pass key without any user intervention.

Some say that utilizing WEP with another tool included on my wireless devices such as a MAC address inclusion/exclusion option will give you the added level of security needed. Again, this is another assumption gone wrong. Just like the software tools that will decipher the pass key, there are utilities that can generate false MAC addresses to overcome this feature.

Should you use WEP? Well, I guess that if you are choosing using WEP versus absolutely no security, it is better than using nothing. And I mean barely better. A good way to think about this is to compare your home's front entrance. You have a choice between nothing at all and the doorway standing wide open - this is your wireless network with no security protection active. WEP would be similar to you having a screen door that swings closed but has no latch, no lock. Agreed, the doorway is better off now than it was without anything at all. Maybe critters cannot get in but I think you will agree that it is anything but secure.

And there is a better way = WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) discussed in my next article...

I have been writing articles and publishing commentary for several years that cover a number of popular topics of interest from different walks of life. Recently, my interests has turned to remodeling my old office into a bedroom for the kids. I have been considering replacing their old twin beds with a twin full bunk bed so they can stay in the same room but have plenty of room for their stuff. In the process, I found all kinds of information about different types, brands, shapes and sizes of childrens bunk beds for their new room.

Many thanks for reading our Wireless Networking article
