Wireless Security Checklist

Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router

Chapter 2:

Wireless Security Checklist

Wireless networks are convenient and easy to install, so

homes with high-speed Internet access are adopting them

at a rapid pace. Because wireless networking operates by

sending information over radio waves, it can be more

vulnerable to intruders than a traditional wired network.

Like signals from your mobile or cordless phones, signals

from your wireless network can also be intercepted. Since

you cannot physically prevent someone from connecting

to your wireless network, you need to take some additional

steps to keep your network secure.

1. Change the default wireless

network name or SSID

Wireless devices have a default wireless network name

or Service Set Identifier (SSID) set by the factory. This

is the name of your wireless network, and can be up to

32 characters in length. Linksys wireless products use

linksys as the default wireless network name. You should

change the wireless network name to something unique

to distinguish your wireless network from other wireless

networks that may exist around you, but do not use

personal information (such as your National Insurance

Number) because this information may be available for

anyone to see when browsing for wireless networks.

2. Change the default password

For wireless products such as access points and routers,

you will be asked for a password when you want to change

their settings. These devices have a default password set

by the factory. The Linksys default password is admin.

Hackers know these defaults and may try to use them

to access your wireless device and change your network

settings. To thwart any unauthorised changes, customise

the device's password so it will be hard to guess.

3. Enable MAC address filtering

Linksys routers give you the ability to enable Media Access

Control (MAC) address filtering. The MAC address is a

unique series of numbers and letters assigned to every

networking device. With MAC address filtering enabled,

wireless network access is provided solely for wireless

devices with specific MAC addresses. For example, you can

specify the MAC address of each computer in your home

so that only those computers can access your wireless

network.

4. Enable encryption

Encryption protects data transmitted over a wireless

network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) and Wired

Equivalency Privacy (WEP) offer different levels of security

for wireless communication.

A network encrypted with WPA/WPA2 is more secure

than a network encrypted with WEP, because WPA/WPA2

uses dynamic key encryption. To protect the information

as it passes over the airwaves, you should enable the

highest level of encryption supported by your network

equipment.

WEP is an older encryption standard and may be the

only option available on some older devices that do not

support WPA.

General Network Security Guidelines

Wireless network security is useless if the underlying

network is not secure.

Password protect all computers on the network and •

individually password protect sensitive files.

Change passwords on a regular basis. •

Install anti-virus software and personal firewall •

software.

Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications •

may open file sharing without your consent and/or

knowledge.

Additional Security Tips

Keep wireless routers, access points or gateways away •

from exterior walls and windows.

Turn wireless routers, access points or gateways •

off when they are not being used (at night, during

holidays).

Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters •

in length. Combine letters and numbers to avoid using

standard words that can be found in the dictionary.

of time a network user will be allowed connection to the

Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the

amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be "leased"

this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will

be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The

default is 0 minutes, which means one day.

Static DNS 1-3

The Domain Name System (DNS) is how

the Internet translates domain or website names into

Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at

least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another,

enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter up

to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use

these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers

.

Authentication Type The default is set to Auto, which

allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication

to be used. With Open System authentication, the sender

and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication.

With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient

use a WEP key for authentication. Select Shared Key to

only use Shared Key authentication.

Basic Rate The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate

of transmission but a series of rates at which the Router

can transmit. The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to the

other wireless devices in your network, so they know which

rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that it will

automatically select the best rate for transmission. The

default setting is Default, when the Router can transmit

at all standard wireless rates (1-2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps,

18Mbps and 24Mbps). Other options are 1-2Mbps, for

use with older wireless technology and All, when the

Router can transmit at all wireless rates. The Basic Rate

is not the actual rate of data transmission. If you want to

specify the Router's rate of data transmission, configure

the Transmission Rate setting.

Transmission Rate The rate of data transmission should

be set depending on the speed of your wireless network.

You can select from a range of transmission speeds or you

connection speed between the Router and a wireless

client. The default is Auto.

N Transmission Rate The rate of data transmission

should be set depending on the speed of your Wireless-N

networking. You can select from a range of transmission

speeds or you can select Auto to have the Router

automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable

the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the

best possible connection speed between the Router and a

wireless client. The default is Auto.

CTS Protection Mode The Router will automatically

use CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode when your

Wireless-N and Wireless-G products are experiencing

severe problems and are not able to transmit to the

Router in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This

function boosts the Router's ability to catch all Wireless-N

and Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease

performance. The default is Auto.

Beacon Interval Enter a value between 1 and 65,535

milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the

frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet

broadcast by the Router to synchronise the wireless

network. The default value is 100.

DTIM Interval This value, between 1 and 255, indicates

the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message

(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing

clients of the next window for listening to broadcast

and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered

broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it

sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients

hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast

and multicast messages. The default value is 1.

Fragmentation Threshold This value specifies the

maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented

into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet

error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation

Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low

may result in poor network performance. Only minor

reduction of the default value is recommended. In most

cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.

RTS Threshold Should you encounter inconsistent data

flow, only a minor reduction of the default value, 2347,

is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the

preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will

not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS)

frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates

the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the

wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame

to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS

Threshold value should remain at its default value of

2347.
