Default Change the default password

This should be the last step in locking down your wireless. The default passwords for every router are available on the internet. Each brand of router uses similar settings, but usually there are some things that set them apart so a hacker can easily identify what brand you're using and then enter that default password to get in and change your settings.

So, once you've got everything "locked down", change the admin/default password, test it out, and then sleep easy knowing the average neighbor or passer by can't get into your system.
