As people start depending more on technology and the internet they are opening themselves up to new risks. In this project, we specifically investigated wireless router interfaces to understand the needs of users when they configure security. Two studies were conducted: a baseline study comparing the interfaces of two routers on the market and a study comparing a prototype and the Linksys interface. The baseline study showed that there was no difference between the current interfaces. We then conducted a controlled experiment with a prototype that gave visual feedback. The prototype showed significant improvement in level of security achieved.
