Posted on at


Hi Guy's

Just want to share some simple protection that may help you on your wifi or wireless network

Why we need to secure or WIFI / Wireless network?

We need to secure the network because:

* We don't need other's to see our personal network
* We need to secure the network because we want our network free of intruders
* We want to have a secure online transactions
* We don't want our neighbors to join our network because they will download and download upto the point that our neighbor will get all the bandwidth in our network aha (L.O.L)
and so on . . . .

Now here are some points that you need to do for your WiFI or WIRELESS Network be secured

First you can put a password on your router or Wireless device (WIFI router or Access point)
in implementing password as much as possible please do not put a password or a word that is related to you like your:
* birthday
* name of pet
* favorite book
* Favorite Artist
and the like

After you choose your password try also to put a encryption of the password.
the role of the encryption is to change your clear text to other undefined characters that the hackers won't see

Second you can also register the MAC addresses of the device you want to connect to your network
for example you can only register the mac addresses of your android phone or Ipod apple wireless devices
your laptop IP Camera (wireless IP cameras) and all other wireless device that you want to connect on your network

Third you can also disable the wireless SSID of your router so it will not broadcast the name of your network
SSID - this is the name that you want to appear when you star-up the wifi of your router.
Disabling of the SSID will help to protect your wifi because it will not broadcast a \n SSID so other's will not see your excising WIFI Network.

That's all guy's hope I give you another informative blog and have a nice day ahead ;)
see you around =)
