Wireless devices have a default wireless network name or Service Set Identifier 
(SSID) set by the factory. This is the name of your wireless network and can be up 
to 32 characters in length. Cisco wireless products use “ciscosb” as the default 
wireless network name. You should change the wireless network name to 
something unique to distinguish your wireless network from other wireless 
networks that may exist around you, but do not use personal information (such as 
your Social Security number) because this information may be available for 
anyone to see when browsing for wireless networks.

Most wireless networking devices give you the option of broadcasting the SSID. 
While this option may be more convenient, it allows anyone to log into your 
wireless network. This includes hackers. So, don’t broadcast the SSID.

For wireless products such as access points and routers, you will be asked for a 
password when you want to change their settings. These devices have a default 
password set by the factory. The Cisco default password is admin. Hackers know 
these defaults and may try to use them to access your wireless device and 
change your network settings. To thwart any unauthorized changes, customize the 
device’s password so it will be hard to guess.

With every wireless networking device you use, keep in mind that network 
settings (SSID, WEP keys, etc.) are stored in its firmware. Your network 
administrator is the only person who can change network settings. 

If a hacker gets a hold of the administrator’s password, he, too, can change those 
settings. So, make it harder for a hacker to get that information. Change the 
administrator’s password regularly.
