Now a days almost every Internet user uses a router (wired/wireless) to provide Internet for multiple devices at home. In wired network there is minimum chance for someone to steal your Internet but in wireless network there is maximum chance for someone like your neighbour or surrounding people to access your network. So here are some steps to secure your Home/Personal WiFi network. Read On....

Simple Steps To Secure Your WiFi Network

Wifi network
Step 1: Open Settings Into Your Router :-
First, you should open the wireless WiFi settings page, you can do this by typing your IP on your browser Ex:- "192.168.237.134". Here you need to enter the Username and Password to access the Routers settings page. 
Step 2: Create Your Own Unique Password :-
After logging into router go to Admin/Administration settings -> Password.
Here there will be default password given by the internet provider. You need to change the password which should be strong and unique. 
Step 3: Enable Network Encryption :-
There are several encryption methods like WEP, WPA, WPA 2. WEP is basic and can be hacked by other users. So it is preferable to use WPA version 2 (WPA 2). In order to prevent your network from other computers you need to enable the encryption and select the encryption method.
Step 4: Change Your SSID Name :-
Network SSID name is the routers name which will be displayed to WiFi users. Usually routers brand name will be the default. Change it by any name you like. This will differentiate your WiFi network from other users in your surroundings.
Step 5: Set MAC Addresses :-
This setting is very good and gives full maximum security to your WiFi network. Every WiFi enabled devices like Laptop or Mobile Phones have their own unique MAC addresses. First you need to know the MAC addresses of your devices you want to connect to your WiFi network. Now, go to MAC filtering page in your Administration panel and add all the MAC addresses of the devices you want to use. Now only the specified devices will be able to access your network.
Step 6: Reduce The Range Of Your Signal :-
You can also specify the range of your wireless WiFi signal to your desired range. By doing this your network will be available only to your desired range. If the WPS push button is pressed on your WiFi then anyone would be able to access your network, so limiting your range will be a great help to secure your network in this case.
