Default Wifi hardening

A local Church has been running a wifi network for some time , and
again they have been raided over the wifi so being softhearted I am
going to sort things a little in the morning , atm there is no security
and being trustful naive souls they felt it was unnecessary (oops)

I don't want to make it to hard to maintain so will be applying
the following

Secure the router ( yes it's basic)

Stop broadcast of the SSID

Enable WPA encryption instead of WEP

Use MAC filtering for access control

Reduce your WLAN transmitter power

Disable remote administration


Turn off the router dhcp and specify ip ranges fixed ?


if it happens again I will take a look at maybe radius and wonder if
there are any other easy suggestions as I wont be admisitering this
network , I would prefer to run copper but it physically is not possible
Thanks
B
