• Keep wireless routers, access points, or gateways away from exterior walls
and windows.
• Turn wireless routers, access points, or gateways off when they are not
being used (at night, during vacations).
• Use strong passphrases that are at least eight characters in length.
Combine letters and numbers to avoid using standard words that can be
found in the dictionary.
General Network Security Guidelines
Wireless network security is useless if the underlying network is not secure. Cisco
recommends that you take the following precautions:
• Password protect all computers on the network and individually password
protect sensitive files.
• Change passwords on a regular basis.
• Install anti-virus software and personal firewall software.
• Disable file sharing (peer-to-peer). Some applications may open file sharing
without your consent and/or knowledge.
Understanding the Cisco RV 120W’s Wireless Networks
The Cisco Small Business RV 120W Wireless-N VPN Firewall provides four
Wireless Access Points (APs), or virtual wireless networks. These networks can
be configured and enabled with individual settings. You can set up multiple
networks to segment the network traffic, to allow different levels of access, such
as guest access, or to allow access for different functions such as accounting,
billing, and so on.
You can further customize wireless access by creating profiles. A profile is a set of
generic wireless settings that can be shared across multiple APs. Profiles allow
you to easily duplicate SSIDs, security settings, encryption methods, and client
authentication for multiple APs.
