How to Create a More Secure Network

Recommended Router Models

  • A router with DD-WRT installed. You can locate devices that have DD-WRT support on DD-WRT's website

Notes About DD-WRT

  • This software will add many more features to your router, and should only be used by experienced professionals
  • Flashing DD-WRT can potentially brick your router, so make sure to follow any instructions carefully
  • This guide will not cover all DD-WRT features, only those pertinent to securing your network, and security device
  • Menu's might be different in your router depending on your version of DD-WRT

Wireless Security

The wireless security settings, in decreasing order of preference, should be the pre-shared key versions of the following: 1. WPA2 + AES

2. WPA + AES (only if all devices support it).

3. WPA + TKIP (maximum security commonly supported by older wireless adapters - can be cracked as well)

4. WEP (easily cracked in 5 minutes)

5. Disabled (no security. Use some other security layer on top, like a VPN)
