Your wireless router is the gateway to your home network. Make sure it uses a strong, unique password rather than the default one provided by the manufacturer. This makes it much harder for intruders to access your internet connection and any devices connected to it.
It’s also important to change the default network name (SSID) so it doesn’t reveal the brand or model of your router, and enable WPA2 or WPA3 encryption. These settings protect the data travelling between your devices and the router, keeping eavesdroppers out.
Regularly update your router’s firmware and disable features you don’t need, such as remote management, which can be exploited by hackers. If available, set up a separate guest network so visitors don’t have access to your main devices.
If you’re unsure how to adjust these settings, ask a trusted family member, neighbor, or technician for assistance. A secure Wi‑Fi network is a foundation for safe online activity, especially when banking, shopping, or communicating with loved ones.
