Using public wireless network, security settings?

Hi there,
I'm a new Mac user. If I'm using my MacBook Pro on a public wireless network, do I need to change any security settings to prevent other users from accessing my documents/hard drive etc?
Thanks in advance.

Yes turn of guest access to your computer in the accounts preference pane.
Turn off any sharing protocols you may have enabled in your sharing preference pane.
In the security preference pane click on the firewall tab and set access for specific services.
Also when using public wifi it is a good idea not to use email or connect to any online banks etc.

  • Wireless Network Security Settings

    I have purchased a WRT54G router.  I had no problems getting one computer  and one laptop on the internet with the security settings turned on.  The problem is that I am trying to connect an older laptop to the system.  The older laptop does not have a ethernet connection port so I am not able to run the normal setup.   It does have  wireless adapter card.  With the card I can get on the internet when the router security settings are turned off but I want to turn my security setting on.  How do I keep my security turned on and still be able to get on the internet with the old computer?  I was told that it would be possible and that I could set up a password to where the older laptop could sign on to get on the internet.  How would I go about doing this?

    First, make sure you have the latest driver for your wireless card.
    Next, in the computer's wireless software, go to "Preferred Networks"  (sometimes called "Profiles" )  and enter your network's SSID, encryption method, and key.  Next make this network your default network and set it to connect automatically.  (Note: to do this, you may have to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". )  Reboot computer.  It should work.

  • Privacy on public wireless network

    what can i do to keep my personal information and passwords protected when using a public wireless network? what settings should i use?
    i'm still new to macs so the basics and step by step instructions would be great.
    thx.

    Regardless the platform - OS X or Windows, you need to assume anything sent out over a wireless network is being intercepted in transit (which is always a possibility) regardless if access to the wireless network is password protected/encrypted or not and act accordingly.
    As far as someone gaining access to your computer when connected to a public wireless network or to any network, you need to keep the built-in Firewall included with OS X enabled and don't enable any ports or services not needed such as Windows File Sharing and Personal File Sharing, etc.
    Go to System Preferences > Sharing to be sure the Firewall is enabled and check for any ports or services that are enabled but not being used.

  • Need my wireless network security key

    I got a laptop and a kindall.  Wanted to connect them to my wireless network.  A screen asks for the wireless network security key.  I have no idea what that is.  Went to home computer and tried to copy the key, but I ended up deleting it and now can't connect to my wi-fi on that either.  I  attempted to restore computer to earlier date in hopes I could get back the code that was set up and when that didn't work, I set the router to default mode by using a pen to hold in button in back 10 to 15 seconds.  Nothing has work, and I have no internet connection.  I had to use my computer at work to type this.  What can I do?

    You must hard reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router.  Connect via your browser with a wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'.  Now configure the router back to your settings with your new SSID and password.  Once done change all your computers to  the same password.  Write the password down and tape it to the router.

  • IPad protection on public wireless network?

    Is there any protection on iPad to prevent someone from accessing my data on a public wireless network?  I know not to enter a credit card number in public, but what about the email password that is already saved there?

    On an open wireless network, anyone on that network can capture the network traffic and see any clear-text data.  Your e-mail password is safe IF you've got things set up to connect via SSL.  Go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then select the account.  Edit the account, tap the Advanced button, and make sure Use SSL is turned on.
    That protects your password, but note that the contents of any messages you send and receive are, and always have been, plain text send in the clear.  So don't send anything sensitive via e-mail.  That's good advice in general, but especially relevant on an open wireless network.
    Beyond that, nobody can remotely hack your iPad and get access to the data on it.  It's just the data you're sending and receiving you've got to worry about it.

  • Does anyone know how to get an ipad to use the wireless network from an airport?

    Does anyone know how to get an Ipad to use the wireless network from an airport express?

    By default, the AirPort Express will broadcast an unsecure wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Your iPad should "see" this network and be able to connect to it. Have you tried going through the iPad's Settings > Wi-Fi > Choose a Network... option. If so, does the AirPort's wireless network appear in the list of available networks?
    Can other wireless devices connect to the AirPort's network?

    I am using airport extreme.....

    In an inline renderer, the compiler knows which document will be the “outerDocument” so it sets up special code to assign that value.  I think you can use parentDocument or owner.document

  • Who's using your wireless network

    Is there a program or anyway to show who's using a wireless network? Like a feature that shows a list of computers that are on the wireless network?
    thx

    Hi!
    Usually, your router comes with a log file somewhere which you can use to look up the connections made. My DLink614+ uses this list to show the MAC addresses currently connected. My syslog makes references to attempts made. However all you can see is MAC addresses...

  • Need network security settings for wireless printer set-up

    I have an older airpot extreme base station. I'm trying to set-up my wireless brother printer and it says that I need the following network information:
    SSID- I know this one
    Authentication Method (open system/shared key/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)
    Encription Mode (None/WEP/TKIP/AES/CKIP)
    Encryption Key (WEP key/Passphrase)
    From what I've found, I believe that I should be using WPA-PSK and TKIP, but what is that passphrase that I'm supposed to use or where can I find out that information?

    I am also trying to set up a wireless printer set up. I have an Airport Extreme and a new Brother wireless printer. Sounds perfect, right? Well, I am so confused right now. I bought an Airport Extreme while overseas a bunch of years ago and am now using it in the States. I have no memory of any info such as what is being asked from me to set up wireless printing. I don't remember the wireless security password, authenication method, or either of the Encryption thingies. I don't know where to find this information, whether it be on my computer somewhere or online. Please advise. Plus I don't use any security settings as I live pretty far from other humans in my neighborhood. Does that matter in the big picture?
    Please help a girl out!

  • Using exisiting wireless network SSID name and settings

    I want to use an existing wireless network SSID and settings as i setup my new airport time capsule.  I plan to turn off the wireless network at the Westell modem/router that now establsihes the network.  what setting do i pick in airport utility?  : extend a wirless network or steup a new wireless network?
    When should i turn off the wirelss at the Westell router?  Before or after running airport utility?

    Establish a permanent Ethernet cable connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Westell router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule.
    Configure the Time Capsule to "create a wireless network" using the same settings for the Time Capsule network as the Westell.
    Make sure that the Time Capsule has been configured to operate in Bridge Mode to work correctly with the Westell router.
    Once you have the Time Capsule set up and working, you can turn off the wireless function on the Westell router.

  • TS3899 When at home using our home wireless I can send and receive emails on my iPad no problem.  When using other wireless networks I can send emails to people who share the same Internet provider but not others.  Why?

    Is the wireless provider the issue?  I can receive emails everywhere I go but in some locations can only send to a limited number of email addresses.

    Greetings
    I suspect that the issue is the SMTP server settings. On your home network you are using your providers SMTP server and all is fine (If you check your email account configs you will find that the SMTP server is set to your providers?).
    When you use a different network (provider) mail will not be sent unless you use that networks (providers) SMTP server (this is a security issue to address ways of "spamming").
    So if youre 3G/4G provider is the same as you home provider all will work well via your home WiFi. If you turn off WiFi and just use your 3G/4G connection to send mail (iPhone/iPad etc) all will work well (when you are out and about and using anothers WiFi network).
    If you are connected to, say a MacDonalds WiFi, mail will probably not be sent. (It will be received though).
    Using WEB mail interface (via your WEB browser) removes this problem as well. 
    (A SMTP server is what is used to send email. So to successfully use anothers (not a networks the same as your providers) WiFi network and send email via it, you must know the SMTP servers name and reconfigure your email account/s to use that server to send mail.)

  • Wireless network security

    Okay: I've read a quite a few of the posts under this topic, and (shamefully) I need something more remedial, please.
    I have a cable internet connection and a (Belkin) wireless router with one Macbook and one PC (XP). What, specifically, do I need to do to make this reasonably secure, and where do I do these things?
    Everything is set up and working, but I don't really understand which computer (if any) is controlling my "network" so I don't understand what settings to make on which piece of hardware (Mac, PC, modem, router). Where, for example, do I make the WPA password settings, and how can/do I check that they are working on the other computer? Do I need to change the SSID name? What about encryption?
    Thanks for your help

    I've set up a couple of wireless networks for businesses and can suggest you do the following.
    Read the manual on how to login into your router. Usually you have to open your browser and navigate to something like: http://192.168.1.1 - again, consult your manual with regards to this. Also it will tell you which password to use, although some Belkin routers require no password by default. Now, to security.
    1. Fit thing that you should do is to change name for administrator account (use marco, admin, administrator - whatever you like) if there is such an option, but most importantly, CHANGE OR SET UP A PASSWORD FOR YOUR ADMINISTRATOR ACCOUNT! There is a reason I put this in bold, as this is the most stupid mistake people make and the first thing hackers do is to check if they can get in by using default password (i.e. no password - easy, isn't it?)
    2. Name your network (SSID) - something like 'nowiresbox' will do, and turn off SSID broadcasting. Only you will know the SSID name (there is no reason why someone else should) you have given to your wireless network, and all you have to do is type it in when setting up connections. While SSID can still be discovered easily, it is still a good practice to disable its broadcast.
    3. Set up MAC address filtering. Every network device (Ethernet card, AirPort, etc.) have a MAC address that looks like this: 00:0d:93:8c:2e:3b. This means only network devices with MAC addresses you specify will be able to connect to your wireless network. To find out your MAC address, open Network Utility (in Applications>Utilities), click on 'Info' tab. Select 'Network interface (en1)' to view info about your wireless card or 'Network interface (en0)' to view info about your Ethernet card. The 'Hardware address' entry will display MAC address for each of the interfaces selected. Write them down, and put them in your router options as MAC filtering entries. Again, while it is possible to spoof a MAC address, this is a good practice that would give another hurdle to those who try to get into your network.
    4. Set up encryption. This means transmitted packets on your will be encrypted (scrambled) so that they can't be read by eavesdroppers. The main methods of encryption are: WEP (wired equivalent privacy), WPA (wifi protected access) and WPA2 (enterprise-grade WPA in other words). First thing to know is that you shouldn't use WEP and use WPA (or WPA2 instead), as WEP is very easy to crack with the right tools. Also, try to make up a long encryption key.
    5. Turn on logging on your router so that you know what's happened in case things go sour.
    6. Mind that every time you press that reset button, all your settings (including administrator password) default to the factory state. To avoid redoing all the work, after you have set up your router with the instructions above in mind, back up your settings so that when you have to reset your router, you can restore everything back in a snap.
    7. Also, sometime it might be a good idea to limit the amount of IP addresses that your router's DHCP server gives out to only the number of computers you have connected to it. Say, if your router's IP address is 192.168.1.1 and you have 3 computers in your house, set up an option in DHCP lease to give out IPs starting from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.4 - but make sure you know what you are doing.
    Ask more questions if you have any and good luck.

  • I can get on the internet with my laptop using my wireless network at home but I can not get on the internet using my ipad.  The wi-fi setting show a connection on my ipad but I can not pull up the internet.  Any ideas?

    My laptop connects to the internet via my wireless network at home.  My ipad will not bring up the internet using the same connection.  It shows in the wi-fi settings as connected but when I bring up safari, nothing comes up.  Any ideas?

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • 2nd wireless router security settings

    Hi, hope someone can answer this for me. 
    I have a WRT-610N and I've just set up a 2nd wireless router (E3000) to extend range of my wireless network.
    Same SSID, same subnet, DHCP off etc.  All works fine.  Network passwords I set identically.  
    My question is: what security settings should I apply on the 2nd router?  i.e. I have MAC address filtering on the internet-connected primary router, the WRT-610N - should I apply this on the E3000 also?
    thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. wireless MAC filtering is useless anyway. Don't set it up. It's only causing problems to you. (You would have to set it up on all access points/routers)
    2. Setup WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong passphrase. That's secure.
    3. Set up identical SSID and wireless security setting on both for a roaming network.
    4. Choose different channels on both, if you use static channel assignments to avoid interference.
    5. Make sure SSID broadcast is enabled.
