Wireless network
Hi guys!

I just bought a D-link wireless router and set up a network at home (3 PC's, two laptops, one desktop). All is working well, but I was wondering if anyone has got any tips on security. I use WPA encryption (with a 15 digit key - a combination of lower and uper-case letters, numbers and symbols) and I have changed the default "admin" and "user" passwords for entering the routers setup.

Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Well, encryption keys Can be cracked given enough time, so the best thing to do is to periodically change your key, say every 3 months.
