Learn how you can secure your Wi-Fi Network. Prevent intruders from easily compromising your Wi-Fi network.
There can be many ways to prevent attacks. One way is to make sure you have encryption enabled and use a strong WPA2 with a
sophisticated password with both small letters, capital letters and characters. Make sure you disable WPS Wifi Protected Setup features
since the feature has been prone to multiple vulnerabilities. Another good way is to lower your signal strength so it is only covering your premises.
This can prevent an intruder sitting outside in a car lot to get a good signal.

Wi-Fi Security Guidelines.

Wi-fi networks are getting more and more widespread. Nowadays, it is possible to find wi-fi networks anywhere. It is therefore of utmost importance for users to focus their attention on the growing threat of hackers and crackers; these online outlaws must be taken very seriously.

Ten recommendations concerning safe use of wireless networks.

1. Always use encryption.

2. Set your SSID name to a sophisticated long name with numbers and letters or a non-dictionary term.
