In this era of Wi-Fi popularity, wireless routers have become a household necessity. With more and more devices connected to wireless routers at home, we transmit more and more personal information through wireless routers. Once the wireless router in the home is attacked, the consequences. The slowing down of the Internet is a small thing, but the thought of personal information theft and payment password being swiped makes you shiver all over.

To ensure that the home wireless router is as secure as possible, you only need to develop the following good habits when using the wireless router to protect the home network.

1. Avoid using the default password to log in to the router. Many people must be using the default password to log in to the wireless router. It's easy, I get it. The default password defense is OK, but if you encounter some malicious attackers, it will be bad. Malicious attackers can log in to the wireless router at will to make various settings.

Therefore, the first good habit of using a wireless router is to change the default login password of the router.

It is recommended to use uppercase and lowercase letters + numbers, which can greatly reduce the chance of password cracking.

2. Setting the access password of Wi-Fi as strong password an important part of wireless network security is the password of Wi-Fi, which is responsible for providing secure access authentication for wireless terminal equipment.

Therefore, the second good habit of using a wireless router is to choose the WPA2 method with the highest level of encryption and set relatively complex Wi-Fi passwords, such as a random combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

Those simple passwords such as 123456, 654321, 888888, etc., should never be used again. In addition, for the Wi-Fi password, it needs to be changed regularly to maximize the security index of the password.

Learn to use the visitor network to invite friends and neighbors to your home. Do you want to tell them your Wi-Fi password or not? Tell me, there is a hidden danger of security leakage of all kinds of privacy on the Wi-Fi network at home; if you don't tell me, it will be a bit awkward for guests to ask.

At this time, it is highly recommended to use the visitor network, with which you can say hello to me and everyone.

The guest network has a separate Internet password, a temporary period of validity and a limited access speed. Using the guest network can not only avoid the disclosure of the home Wi-Fi network password, but also prevent temporary users from accessing the devices in the host network to view user data information, which can better ensure the security of the home network.

Therefore, the third good habit of using a wireless router is to enable the guest network feature of the wireless router to isolate temporary users from the host network.

4. Update the firmware version of the router in time. The wireless router manufacturer will release the security patch in time when the router security loophole is found. So when we find that the wireless router has a version upgrade message, we should upgrade to the latest version in time, so as to avoid being exploited by hackers because of known vulnerabilities.

Therefore, the fourth good habit of using a wireless router is to follow the update prompt of the wireless router at any time and update the firmware version in time.

5. Avoid using the Wi-Fi sharing software Wi-Fi sharing software can easily manage the Wi-Fi login information on the phone, but after logging in to Wi-Fi using the sharing software, the login password information will be kept on the sharing software and may be uploaded to the backend server of the sharing software and shared with other users through the cloud. This means that the passwords of all the Wi-Fi networks you use have been told to the world.

Is it serious, do you think?

It is recommended that you try to avoid using this kind of software and ensure the security of your Wi-Fi password.

Therefore, the fifth good habit of using wireless routers is to try not to use third-party Wi-Fi sharing software.

Finally, most wireless routers have matching App for management. Through App, you can easily check the working status of wireless routers, including access equipment list, abnormal login information and suspected attacks. We only need to pay attention to the status prompts on the App, often check the list of access devices, and force the device to be disconnected and pulled into the blacklist when suspicious devices are found, so as to maximize the security of the wireless router.
