Change the default security settings, including IP Address, SSID (Service Set Identifiers), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol – Automatically assigns a computer an IP Address) and passwords. Example: Linksys Wireless Routers come preconfigured for quick set up right out of the box. Be sure to disable SSID broadcast.The problem is everyone that owns a Linksys wireless router knows that the standard password is “admin” with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1. , an SSID name of “Linksys” and DHCP enabled.
Encrypt Data
a. WEP ( Wired Equivalent Privacy) – The original wireless standard but since proven not to be so secure. Still better than no encryption.
b. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) – Developed in 2003 to address the vulnerability of WEP. Includes the 802.1x authenthication and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is optional.
c. 802.11i – Released by IEEE this summer. Considered the best option when buying new wireless equipment.
Install personal firewalls on devices – XP comes with an option to enable a Personal Firewall. Another option is a free firewall for home users made by ZoneAlarms at www.zonelabs.com
Enable MAC (Media Access Control) address filtering. Allowing only MAC addresses that are specifically added to the filter.
Change wireless signal if applicable – If you have an 802.11G and only have 802.11G wireless clients then change the wireless signal to only 802.11G. This allows for better transmission rates. However, if you own both 802.11G clients then you will need to set the wireless signal to both 802.11B & 802.11G.

Annoying Pop-Ups? Slow System?
These annoying problems need to be stopped at the source. Most users will install some kind of a Pop-Up blocker such as the Google Toolbar or Yahoo Toolbar which both contain a Pop-Up blocker. What you don’t realize is that your computer is still using memory and processing power to block those Pop-Ups, its just happens in the background. Although, having a Pop-Up blocker is useful you should take care of the Pop-Ups at the source. The main causes of those Annoying Pop-Ups are Spyware and Adware. By removing the Spyware and Adware from your computer you will accomplish two important things. First, you will allow your computer to use its memory and processing power for the more critical tasks, thus improving the performance of the computer. Second of all, and more importantly, your system will be more secure. Some spyware programs such as key loggers will log your keystrokes and send them to the creator of the program.
