How can you ensure network or data security while using home network without firewalla?
Once your wifi access gets out into the world, it can be difficult to protect your home wireless network from intrusion. Here are the few steps you can do to prevent this.
1. Make a complicated router password.
Make your password in random sequence of letters, number and special characters, mixing uppercase and lowercase so no one could ever remember it. Only you will be able to have access into your documents and stay safe from hackers.
2. Change the network name.
Free network detection software let hackers see all the surrounding wifi networks. Each network is identified by a name called an SSID. A hacker can use the information that appears in the SSID so that it does not give away the router brand. Avoid making political statements, do not use any other personal information in the name and make it bland.
3. Turn off remote manangement.
The console of a router should be only be accessible from devices connected to the network. However, a standard router setting enables remote access. This means that you can access the console over the internet, from another location, so remember to turn off remote access.
