Hello,

I thought of adding more writing on this interesting topic. I hope it will help

Below are additional steps you can use to enhance your wireless device security



Enable Encryption: Ensure your wireless network is encrypted. Use WPA3 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 3) if available, as it provides stronger encryption than older standards like WPA2 or WEP.

Change Default SSID and Password: Change the default network name (SSID) and password of your wireless router. Default credentials are well-known and easy targets for attackers.

Use a Firewall: Enable the built-in firewall on your wireless router to block unauthorized access and protect your network from potential threats.

Disable WPS: If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), consider disabling it. WPS can be susceptible to brute force attacks.

MAC Address Filtering: Implement MAC address filtering on your router to only allow specific devices to connect to your network. Note that this can be bypassed, so it should not be solely relied upon for security.


Disable Auto-connecting: Turn off the automatic connection to open Wi-Fi networks on your devices. Connecting to unknown networks can expose your device to potential security risks.

Disable Unused Services: Turn off any unused services, such as UPnP (Universal Plug and Play), to reduce potential attack vectors.

Physical Security: Ensure the physical security of your devices, especially for portable devices like smartphones and laptops. Use lock screens, PINs, or biometric authentication to prevent unauthorized access.

Regularly Review Connected Devices: Periodically check the list of connected devices on your network to ensure there are no unauthorized devices.
