Whether you are moving to a new home or simply improving your internet connection, building a strong home network can be difficult. However, you do not need to connect your devices to the Internet and protect your personal information. From where to turn on your router to how you can encrypt your Wi-Fi, here are eight expert tips for building a strong home network.

 

1. THERE IS A LAST ROUTER STRATEGY.

It can be a shame to overlook your router because the machines are ugly and bulky, but a strong home network relies on a router that is in good condition. IT experts recommend that you place your router as close to the center of your home as possible, away from walls. In addition to ensuring that your router's signal reaches all parts of your home, a properly placed router will reduce signal interference from devices such as microwaves and cordless phones. Placing your router in a central location will also reduce the risk of the Wi-Fi signal reaching outside your home and leaving your network vulnerable.

2. CHANGE YOUR NECESSARY NETWORK AND PASSWORD ROUTER.

The new routers come with a service kit identifier (SSID) name and password. Even if you need to use this basic information when you connect your computer to the Internet for the first time, security experts strongly recommend that you change it immediately. If you continue to use the default SSID and password, hackers can easily measure them (based on your router's manufacturer) and gain access to your router. Choose a name for your Wi-Fi network that does not share your personal information, such as your full name or address. To keep your Wi-Fi network secure, choose a strong password and change it every two months.
