Protect your wireless internet

1 When your wireless router isn't in use,
it is a good idea to simply turn it off.

2 Connect to the router interface (usually by opening the IP of the router) Enter your name and password, then change them. Most wireless routers get hacked because most people forget to change the default password.


3 Disable the services that you don't need. These can leave gaps.
Enable a firewall, and if your wireless network has it, a logging feature. Monitor both of these.

And finally if possible use authentication.
