Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

bury it where you think no one will find it.
use AES and not TKIP also. TKIP still has flaws. If you want really secure make it a 63 character WPA2 key and even a supercomputer wouldn't be able to crack in a remotely usefull time frame. random letters & Numbers, upper and lower case, and a few symbols for good measure.
OK, Thanks again.
disabled SSID broadcast and changed the default IP.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that..The laptop we are using is set to connect to this network automatically,we set it up and then turned off broadcast.. so far its working....Not all wireless NICs work properly with hidden SSIDs...you may have trouble with some.
Besides, any software tools used to grind into someone elses wireless network will still see hidden SSIDs anyways...so it's really not a security feature.

I figure if they want in, they are getting in..I'm just trying to make it a bit more difficult..

Honestly what are you blocking, maybe access to some Porn files that are shared?

I think most people just want to stop someone from leaching there internet access. You want to stop somebody using your wireless/internet account to download something that you might get in hot water over. What ever they download is going to be traced to your IP address.

Make sure you have a strong password; brute force is always an option to get into any system
