Home Network Security: A Beginner's Guide
15/07/2024
## Change Your Default Router Password
Most routers ship with "admin" or "password". Log into your router and set a strong, unique password.
## Use WPA3 or WPA2 Encryption
WPA3 is the newest and most secure. If your devices do not support WPA3, WPA2-AES is the next best option. Never use WEP.
## Create a Guest Network
Set up a separate Wi-Fi for visitors. This keeps your main network isolated from guest devices.
## Keep Firmware Updated
Router manufacturers release security patches regularly. Enable automatic updates or check monthly.
## Disable WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup has known vulnerabilities. Disable it and connect devices manually instead.
