Hardening WIFI

[Carruth, Rusty]

ONLY 32?  Aren’t you allowed 128?

Yeah, for the longest time mine was 128 chars long. VERY nasty when entering new devices…  My family finally forced me to make it a little shorter! ;-)

Ensure you're only using wpa2-aes (no tkip, or mix wpa1-2), and use a very long psk string.  Ensure your clients aren't vulnerable to the blueborne and other wifi ota exploits.  Not much else you can do really unless you want to run a radius and/or cert pki in-house to do eap-tls, or peap.  You can crack against wpa2, but unless using an easy string, it's not easy or assured they will figure out your string.

I use a 32char random string, special characters, really annoying when adding new devices, but I don't worry about someone cracking it.

Hi,

I would like to "Harden" my WIFI and am not sure where to start.  I seem to recall past discussions on replacing the standard equipment provided by our ISP.

I would like to make it very difficult to hack my WIFI and I would like a firewall.  And I would like this to be "Plug and Play" as much as is possible.  In other words I would like to stay away from installing a Linux firewall on an extra PC and then having to maintain it.

Please feel free to let me know if my expectations are not valid.

Thanks in advance!!

Keith
