Wireless encryption protocol (WEP) is a standard method to encrypt the data transmitted in wireless network. Now most of the wireless devices only have WEP encryption, more secure WPA encryption has not been widely used.

At present, there are two key types of wireless router or AP. For example, the use of wireless routers will have 64 and 128 of the encryption type, respectively, 10 or 26 to enter the string as a password.

Here to remind you that many wireless router or AP in the factory, the data encryption transmission functions is closed. If you bring with and without setting further, then your wireless network became the a defenseless furnishings. Therefore, it is extremely important to encrypt the settings for your wireless network.

Two, disable SSID broadcast

In layman's way, SSID is the name you give to your wireless network. Need to pay attention to is that the same manufacturer launched a wireless router or AP use the same SSID, once those illegally trying to connect the attackers use generic initialization string to connect to a wireless network, easily established a illegal connection to our non line network threat. Therefore, it is recommended that you are better able to name SSID some of the more personal names.

Wireless router will generally provide "allow SSID broadcast" function. If you don't want your wireless network to be SSID by someone else, it's better to "ban SSID radio". Your wireless network can still be used, but it does not appear in the list of available web sites that other people are searching for.

Tip: after the ban on SSID radio set, the efficiency of the wireless network will be a certain impact, but in exchange for the security of the increase, that is worth the.
