    Setup / encryption of wireless network

    Hey,

    I want to do my secure wireless network (Linksys BEFW11S4) and have done the following:

    • WPA-PSK encryption.
    • Disabled SSID Broadcast

    I also want to Hide ESSID.

    Should I do more?
    Have read something about that you should periodically change the SSID and change the WEP encryption keys periodically?
    But I need to encrypt the WEP once I have encrypted with WPA.

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Forget WEB when you use the much improved security WPA. You should also change the password for the router's login. You can also restrict access to specific MAC addresses.

    For your information, WEP is an outdated encryption. You should be aware that WPA2 is better than WPA encrypted why you should prefer the former. you must avoid WEP.

    Have you disabled SSID,ESSID / BSSID. Forget MAC address blocking, since it does not provide extra security, only more work. It is true that it is a very good practice to change keys at regular intervals.
