How to Secure your home Wi-Fi network?
Your home may be connected with Wi-Fi now and it allows your family to access the Internet from all over your house, which makes it harder for you to control the Internet activity and sharing information. If it's not secured properly, intruders might use your bandwidth, or compromise your Internet security by infecting your devices with malware. Further they may use your devices or systems, as bots for sending the attacks from your systems to other's systems or infrastructure.
- Change the default admin password with a secured one.
- Make sure your Wi-Fi device is highly secured
- Make use a strong password for accessing your router.
- Enable wireless encryption to prevent strangers from "seeing" your network and restrict access to it.
- Allow only specific devices to access your wireless network. Every device that is able to communicate with a network is assigned a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address, so use them.
- Use filtering options to avoid unnecessary websites with inappropriate content.
