Setup your router to require WPA protection. Additionally, select as your password something which is impossible to guess, except using a brute-force attack (the NSA is good at this, but very few others are). A password which is selected using a proven pseudo-random number generator is probably best. I use Gibson Research's ultra-high security password generator ... https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm ... selected from the "63 random alpha-numeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9)" section. Usually, I use the first 30 characters as my router's password. I also use randomly generated SSIDs and ... especially important ... router master passwords. One execution of the PRNG will give you enough characters for all of these purposes. If you need more, just hit enter and a whole new set of random numbers will appear. Then, write that string or strings to a text file and place it in a secure location. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
