''[[wikipedia:Wired Equivalent Privacy|WEP]] is essentially worthless''. Replace wireless equipment that doesn't support WPA. Seriously. (''See [[#Wi-Fi Security|Wi-Fi Security]]'') | ||

(''See [[#What Makes for a Strong Password or Passphrase?|What Makes for a Strong Password or Passphrase?]]'') Write your passphrase on a label and stick it on the bottom of your wireless router so you won't forget it. (If someone gets to your wireless router, you are compromised regardless.) | ||
