Tips to Secure Your Wireless Network from Hijackers

Firstly  know How a Wireless Network Works:

If, we use the term wireless, normally it means Access point of the internet. As a DSL modem or cable – to a Wi-Fi router, and provide signals over the air, occasionally up to hundred feet. with the help of wireless card any PC within area that can pick signals over the air to use the internet.

Till the time you are not taking any security cautions, anyone near to you with Wi-Fi mobile devices or system can have access of your home network or office network which simply means either any hacker or neighbors can enter on your network by backdoor and they can pull all the important information from your computer. If any unethical people try to access the network of your home or offices for  the purpose to send spam or crime, the activity could be traced back to your account.

What is Encryption and how it works:

Encryption jumble the information send through the internet in a coding form so that people on the other side cannot view that information. With encryption you can protect your network from the hijackers.

There are two types of encryption :

Wired Equivalent Privacy
Wi-Fi Protected Access

Your router, system and other devices on which you want to access wireless they should must use the same encoding.

I recommend you to use Wi-Fi protected access(WAP2) as it is strongest encryption; It could secure your network from the intruders or hackers.
