How to Protect your WIFI Router

Three security-boosting steps to perform on every router

  

There are so many tricks available to hack any wifi password, some use Linux or some use application software. So you need to protect your wifi device from these unauthorized accesses. Today I am going to tell you the three needful steps to protect your wifi device.

 Log in to your router and change the admin details

You have to change your login credentials for your wifi device, default login details are easily and all known.

Use WPA2

Always use wpa2 security type, most critical security type to hack. WPA2 is considered the best way to secure your router connection. This standard works by encrypting all traffic between devices and the router, making it much harder for anyone to nab your data as it travels through the air.

Use an uncomfortably long password

Always use 20 to 30 character password as a wifi network password, long passwords are difficult to hack for anyone, the extra effort pays off with a more secure password that keeps the bad guys off your network.

Those are just three basic things, but once you're inside your router there are all kinds of other settings you could tweak such as changing the Wi-Fi broadcast channel, change the channel width, adjust your NAT settings, and configure port forwarding.
