Tip #3 Now you see it, now you dont. Wireless Internet

Many people ask me, "How can I better protect my home or small business network that is wireless." By default, most people take the correct actions to protect themselves...ok, well most. There is one thing though that many people over look and can greatly increase their wireless security. It the simple step of hiding your wireless ID signal. The term for this is making your router not broadcast the SSID signal. The SSID is the identifier in the wireless signal that tells a wireless device whether it is there or not. By turning that signal off your router continues to broadcast the wireless internet and network without the identifier. This is a option that can be changed in your router usually by typing 192.168.1.1 in your browser address bar, typing the "admin" password and then finding the setting, "Disable Broadcast SSID". See your manufacture site for exact instructions.

This wont make your network invulnerable by any means, but it is a important step many people over look when they set up their network.
