Wireless Security

Internet has ubiquitous presence all around us. One can use broadband services or wireless networks. Now a days, more and more people are going for wireless security system in homes as well as offices. But while you go for wireless, try to keep security aspects in mind. It will also help if one has little knowledge of operations of wireless network security. Wireless networks are quite often prone to hacking so it pays to adopt some ultra-security measures. You must follow certain steps while you begin the process.

Begin with completely removing all the default settings on the wireless network devices. That’s the first step. Removing the default settings include changing the service set identifier (SSID), and the administrator name. Don’t forget to change the admin password as well. Never ever leave these settings to default. If you have attached remote services, you will also need to duplicate these changes. Keep in mind what you would like to use before implementing these changes. Many people prefer to leave every setting to default values and first test the network for operation. Once the test is done, shut the system and then change these values. That’s an individual’s choice when he does it sooner or later. But it has to be done.

The second stage is of enabling the security. Make sure the security is of highest level. The ideal setting is to go for WPA2 or WPA. That will make your network quite safe and secure. You must upgrade your security if you are still using an older version.

The last step involves shutting the ‘network door’ to outside, unauthorized users. This will include closing down all the broadcast invitations. Implementing all these steps will make your wireless network quite secure and safe.
