To protect a WLAN from WiFi sniffing, useful steps including changing the default administration password for the access point, such as a router, and making sure the firmware is up-to-date. One should also change the SSID (Service Set Identifier) name of the router, which is the public name and usually comes with a brand name as its default. Using network encryption and choosing Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), rather than Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), for encrypting are also good steps as well as using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for browsing.
