Abstract: AbstractRecent advances in technology have led to the wide availability of low cost wireless networking equipment. An increasing number of households are acquiring wireless networks. The low cost and convenience of not having wires around the house is appealing to users who want a tidy and clutter-free home environment. Simultaneously, there has been a growing attention towards security in wireless networks – both home networks and public networks. This study sets out to fill this gap through a quantitative and qualitative investigation. The results suggests that wireless equipment manufacturers can contribute to overall wireless security by providing simple security oriented user interfaces where options that violate best practices are hidden from the users.
