Re: [ fiber tech] Verizon FiOS default WEP key HIGHLY insecure!

Here is a link to the ActionTec MI424WR user manual....
»www.actiontec.com/support_cms/do···v1.1.pdf

See page 32 & 35 for the WPA security options.
Choose WPA, Pre-Shared Key, AES algorithm, and create a good key (one that is not a simple dictionary word, or anything related to your name, birthdate, address, pets, car, etc)

The user manual is not a great 'how-to' guide on best security practices.

Has anyone seen a better guide for walking the average user through logging into the router and changing these security options to WPA (or WPA2 on later revisions)?
