Change the default settings of all the equipment's/components of wireless network (e.g., IP address/ user IDs/administrator passwords, etc.):
Enable WPA/WEP encryption.
Change the default SSID.
Enable MAC address filtering.
Disable remote login.
Disable SSID broadcast.
Disable the features that are not used in the AP (e.g. printing/music support).
Avoid providing the network a name which can be easily identify (e.g., My_Home_Wifi).
Connect only to secured wireless network (i.e., do not autoconnect to open Wi-Fi hotspots).
Upgrade router's firmware periodically.
Assign static IP addresses to devices.
Enable firewalls on each computer and the router.
Position the router or AP safely.
Turn off the network during extended periods when not in use.
Periodic and regular monitor wireless network security.
