WiFi Security Tips
- Use WPA3 if your router supports it, otherwise WPA2
- Never use WEP - it's broken and easily cracked
- Use at least 12 characters (20+ is better)
- Change default router admin password too
- Consider hiding your network name (SSID) for extra privacy
- Create a separate guest network for visitors
Guest Network Best Practices
Why Set Up a Guest Network?
- Isolates visitor devices from your main network
- Protects your personal files and devices
- Easier to share simple credentials
- Can set bandwidth limits for guests
Guest Network Setup Tips
- Use a memorable but secure password (16+ characters)
- Enable client isolation to prevent guest-to-guest communication
- Set time limits if your router supports it
- Consider simpler names like "YourNameGuest" for easy identification
- Regularly change guest password, especially after events
WPA2 vs WPA3: Which Should You Choose?
WPA2 (2004)
Password recommendation: Minimum 20 characters with mixed case, numbers, and symbols
WPA3 (2018)
Password recommendation: 12+ characters sufficient due to improved security
| Standard | Security | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| WEP | Broken | Never use - can be cracked in minutes |
| WPA | Weak | Avoid - vulnerable to attacks |
| WPA2 | Good | Recommended minimum standard |
| WPA3 | Best | Use if supported by all your devices |
💡 Migration Strategy
Start with WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode if available. This ensures older devices can connect while newer ones use WPA3. Once all devices support WPA3, switch to WPA3-only for maximum security.
Phase 1: Enable WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode (6-12 months)
Phase 2: Audit device compatibility
Phase 3: Switch to WPA3-only when all devices support it
