Most wireless routers keep logs of the devices that attach to them. Even if you have taken all of the preceding steps to secure your wireless network, it is a good idea to periodically review the logs from your wireless router and check for any rogue devices that may have gained access.

The other major points to consider regarding a secure home wireless network are the same as they are for a wired network or computer security in general. You should make sure you are using strong passwords that can’t be easily guessed or cracked on all of your devices, and protect your computers with personal firewall software.

One final word of advice when it comes to securing your wireless network: a device that is not connected to the Internet can’t be attacked or compromised from the Internet.You may want to consider turning off your wireless router or access point overnight or when you know that it won’t be used for extended periods. If there are too many users trying to access the Internet and use their computers at varying hours, it may be impractical to turn off the wireless router, but you can still turn off any computers when not in use so that they are not exposed to any threats whatsoever.
