Change the default wireless password provided by the manufacturer for administrator access to

the access point or wireless router. Some routers let you change the administrator name as well.

Turn off administrative access over wireless if possible. If you do this, you need to connect to the

router with an Ethernet connection when you want to make configuration changes.

Turn off remote administrative access over the Internet on your router, if possible. You can use

Remote Desktop to make an encrypted connection to a computer running behind your router

and make configuration changes from the local computer you are accessing over the Internet.

To avoid accidentally connecting to another party's wireless network, turn off the setting to

automatically connect to non-preferred networks. This is disabled by default in Windows XP.

Guidelines for reducing interference on a wireless network

The following tips will help reduce the chances for interference in a wireless network:

Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as filing cabinets, and other

electromagnetic devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, as these objects can

disrupt radio signals.

Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures as

these objects can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.

Position the access point or wireless router in a central location in line of sight with the wireless

devices on the network.

Keep all wireless devices on the network within range of one another.
