IP Changer Software is an innovative technology that increases your privacy and security while surfing the internet on wired or wi-fi networks at work or home. network cable San Diego This article will highlight the importance of network security, including wireless network security.
Internet access has become easy to use at home, school and at work thanks to the widespread availability of high-speed Internet services. But, it has also brought with it security issues, such as hackers, spyware, malware, and viruses. Computers and peripherals can be networked at work to reduce costs and improve productivity. The first networking was wired. This made it difficult to use at home. However, wireless networking is now standard practice and a common way to set up a home networking system. These systems are cost-effective, simple to install, and necessary if you plan to use your lap top at home or work. It’s easy to connect to Internet and other peripheral devices from any location, office or home. Wireless networks are dangerous, however, because the Internet connection goes through the airwaves. Without proper security, your financial and personal data could be stolen and your connection may be hacked. Identity theft can cause serious financial, medical and criminal consequences.
A router is the central component of a network. It broadcasts the wireless signals. If the router isn’t secured, unauthorized users and Cyber Crooks will be able to connect to it. They can not only gain an Internet connection at no cost, but they can also eat up bandwidth and slow down your internet connection. You could even have your sensitive information stolen if they gain access to the computer. It is the router, which assigns unique IP addresses to every computer device on the network. This is why it is the most susceptible part of the network. It is therefore essential to have secure networks and to be able hide your IP address.
You need to take several security measures in order to ensure that your wired and wireless networks are secure. ENCRYPTION is the most important security feature. It can be used with older, less secure WEP methods or the newer, more secure WEPA/WPA2 methods. Encryption refers to the process of scrambling the signal that is sent from a computer into the wireless router of the network. The wireless connection’s words are transparent. Anyone can intercept and read them. However, encryption makes it difficult to decipher. You can also add security by making the connection password protected (Network Key or WPA Key). Controlling at MAC (Media Access Control Address) level secures the network connection. Managed IT San Diego MAC address refers to the unique identification number of each wireless device. Other security tips include disabling SSIDSAdviceSetIdentifier) broadcasting, disabling DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), enabling MAC filters, disabling DHCP (“Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol”), enabling security features for router, enabling logging, changing default password and settings, frequently changing passwords, enabling HTTPS and turning off routers or client machines when they are not being used.
