Off-Campus Wireless Security
Home
- Change the router’s default administrative password (the steps differ depending on the type of router).
- Use the strongest available encryption (WPA2/WPA3 with AES).
- Use anti-virus, anti-malware and a firewall.
Public Wi-Fi

- Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to securely access Â鶹ÊÓƵ business information over an encrypted line.
- Make sure the firewall on your computer is running and turn off file-sharing.
- Never transmit confidential or sensitive data (social security number, credit card, or bank info) over public Wi-Fi.
- Turn off your wireless network when not in use.
- Avoid accessing and transmitting sensitive or confidential information in a public area where it can be viewed by others around you
