How to Prevent Others From Stealing Your Wifi and Make Your Wifi Network Safe


                                                                                   Now a days wired routers are become less and are now used mostly in household where the primary means of connecting to internet and in internet cafe's. The problem with the Wifi is the the password of wifi is known anybody can connect to the router. In router there is an option for data sharing. Thus the data in computer is accessible from any computer. There are many methods to make a wifi network safer. 

By using the best security


The most of the wifi hacking can be prevented by using the best security. There are many securities in wifi

  • WEP
  • WPA
  • WPA2
I prefer WPA2 because it is more safer compared to others

By using best passwords


Use the best password for your wifi connection. I have seen that most of the people uses their land numbers, mobile phone numbers, etc as passwords. It is easy to guess.

Make passwords with symbols, words, letters, etc.

For eg: rtech@123$432


Don't Broadcast your SSID

While configuring wifi there is an option for preventing router from broadcasting SSID. 


First connect your devices and then in that column (broadcast SSID ) Mark No

Do not let others to use your laptop or connected devices

If we hand over the connected devices to others it is easy to find wifi password from the laptop. It can be done by using the softwares like wifi password revealer  etc


Change the router password


Change the router password to prevent others from changing your wifi password and SSID. If the router password is know it is easy to find and change the wifi password.

it can be done by log in to the router
