Strengthen The Sense Of Self-protection To Ensure The Security Of Wireless Router – Wireless

3 Close SSID broadcast Short, SSID is your wireless network to get their own name. In the search for the wireless network, your network name will appear in search results. Once an attacker using a common initialization string to connect to the wireless network, very easy to hack into your wireless network to, so I strongly suggest you turn off SSID broadcasting.

Also note that due to a specific type of access point or router’s default SSID on the Internet can be easily searched, such as “netgear, linksys and so on”, so be sure to change out as soon as possible. For the average family can choose different names larger.

Closed wireless network SSID and then search you will find as no SSID broadcast, the wireless network is wireless card overlooked, especially in the management of wireless networks using WindowsXP, you can achieve “deceive” the purpose of making the wireless network does not were found. But turn off SSID network efficiency will decrease slightly, but security will be greatly increased, so turn off SSID broadcasting is still very worthwhile.

4 set IP filtering and MAC address list

As each card’s MAC address is unique, so you can set the MAC address list to improve security. In the IP address filtering is enabled, only IP addresses in the MAC list, the user can properly access the wireless network, not on the list of other naturally can not be connected to the links. Also to note in the “Filter Rules” in the sure to select “Only allow MAC address list has been established already in force in the MAC address to access the wireless network” option, or else the wireless router will block all users connected to the network. For home users, this method is very practical, and there are few computers in the list you can add a few sets, so that neighbors can be avoided and “rub Network” also can prevent some vulnerabilities.

5 initiative update Used to search for and install wireless network card wireless router or the latest firmware or driver updates, to eliminate pre-existing vulnerability. There used to download and install the operating system update in the wireless functions, such as WindowsXP SP3 or VistaSP1 and so on, so you can better support the use of wireless networks and security, to make their devices to have the latest features.

Also suggest that, if forgotten your password set, you can restore the device to factory state, that is, hold down the reset button, but we must remember to reset.

Faster and faster wireless networks, wireless networks more secure that. In fact, the simple need only a few settings you can improve your level of security a lot. Wireless network connection is not so simple, that safety work is carried out to make fun to use more peace of mind. Several methods described above is simple but very useful, if your wireless router has not applied the above method, I strongly suggest you go now with these settings.
