How to secure a Wireless Router (Rerun)

On Tuesday night, I gave a free “community-ed” class on how to properly secure your wireless router.  There were a decent number of people present, and we had some fun discussing some of the risks in keeping your router “fresh-out-of-the-box”.  Specifically, I showed how to make a router more difficult to find by disabling SSID broadcasting, how to enable MAC filtering, to allow only your computers to access the router, and how to enable encryption, so that anyone who wants to connect has to provide a special key.

I discussed this topic back in October, and so, for a trip down memory lane, check it out.
