FAQs

I have equipment certified for WPA in my network and am not able to replace it. What should I do to protect myself?

Check with your equipment's manufacturers to see if an upgrade to WPA2 is available, and if it is, install and activate it on all the devices on your network. If no upgrade to WPA2 is available, check with your manufacturer for the availability of a patch for TKIP which addresses a recent vulnerability.  If a patch is available, install and activate it. Use a strong passphrase, created from a combination of eight or more letters, numbers and symbols and which contains no words from any dictionary.   

Consider implementing other security measures such as a firewall or VPN.
