| WiFi Security 101: WiFi Security 101: Lesson 2 | |
 | from Tony Bradley, CISSP, your Editor and Guide This lesson starts to get into some of the meat of securing a wireless network. This lesson addresses a couple of changes you should make to your wireless network equipment as soon as you set it up. |
 | |
| Change Your Default Username and Password | |
| If an attacker knows the username and password to access your router or access point they can change all of your configuration settings, including the security settings. | |
| Change Your Default SSID | |
| An attacker or casual snoop may attach to your wireless network easier if they know the SSID you are using. Follow this information to make it a little more difficult for them to figure out what it is. | |
