Securing Your Network

There are some simple but effective measures you can take to prevent
someone from accessing your network without your permission. Most of
the wireless routers on the market allow you to configure an internal
firewall to keep any open port on your machine from being used against
you in an attack.
Another simple way is to prevent the “leakage” of any radio waves
from your building and onto the street or parking lot where someone can
pick up your signal. You can impose a specific level of shielding around
the walls of the room that houses your wireless router, thereby restricting
the signal strength to the immediate area within your building. This
would make it harder for hackers to roam onto your network, but you
may have discontented employees who no longer have as good reception
on your wireless LAN as they would have liked.
