Tech Support > Antivirus Support > Set Security in Wi-Fi Router

Internet connection is essential these days so we can connect to the world virtually and do various tasks such as business, trading, learning, purchasing, gaming and etc. If you have an internet connection you can virtually meet your friends and relations through VoIP calls. If you don’t have a webcam you can contact them through free instant messages and chatting. Don’t you have a television at home? Don’t worry! If you have internet connection then you can watch live audio and video streaming.

Internet being a huge network provides us various services. If you wish to connect to the internet then you have various options. You can have wired or wireless connections. Earlier, people were very fond of wired network connections because it was the time when these network concepts were introduced. Nowadays after the wireless technologies were introduced people prefer wireless more than wired. So if you are having a wireless connection in your home for internet connections then you must have enabled proper security pre-cautions. Without proper security pre-cautions your PC is vulnerable to cyber-threats.

What is a router?

Router is a device which forwards data packets between telecommunication networks. Nowadays we also use Wi–Fi routers.

How do you set your wireless (Wi–Fi) router’s security?

  • Use Zone Alarm
    Most of the routers have inbuilt Firewalls. Even if they have inbuilt firewall they only prohibit the hackers from entering your computer. But it won’t prevent others from accessing your Wi-Fi network range. So download Zone Alarm for free and install it.
  • Use a VPN
    VPN is the abbreviation for Virtual Private Network. It is the best way to safeguard your wireless network connections. In Virtual private networks your encrypted data travels through tunnels. So your data communication is made safe.
  • Change the access points or router’s default administrator usernames and password.
  • Enable security by enabling encryption technologies such as WPA / WEP encryption. Remember that all Wi-Fi devices have some sort of encryption.
  • If another Wi-Fi Networks remain open don’t auto-connect to them. They will cause high security risks.
