3 advanced ways to secure your home wireless network.
Want to take your wireless security to the next level? Implement these advanced tips to add another security layer to your network.
1. Lock down what physical computers can connect to your wireless network. This can be done by specifying MAC address filtering on your home wireless router.
2. Learn how to check your firewall logs. You would be surprised at how may attacks your wireless router faces on a daily basis. You should go through your admin area and find out where the logs of your firewall are.
3. Change your current network IP range. Most hackers are network savvy and know that your network router is probably at 192.168.1.1 and all devices on your network are in the 192.1681.1 -.254 range. Find out how to change this to something different such as 192.168.3.X.
These tips are to be integrated into your larger wireless security plan, by themselves they are not enough to ensure a secure a wireless network, but they deter the hacker from pursuing your network when there are much easier targets available.
