Public Hotspot Wireless network is reliable

Wireless routers are now deployed in many places, and many are publicly available. For example, in the exhibition center or the airport and other bulletin sites, there are often no need to log in to the wireless network for users to use. Anyone who is within the range of the signal will be able to connect directly after searching the network and use it to access the Internet.

The place where wireless Internet services are provided in public places is called "hot spots." In private wireless networks, there is a need to strictly prohibit the connections of outsiders, and often take various restrictive measures. This public hotspot, which is meant to provide convenience to the public, will not impose any restrictions. The emergence of public hot spots in the Win7 system to bring convenience to download users, but also bring a small risk, reflected in the privacy of the disclosure and LAN Security.

If you connect to a public hotspot, if you're just surfing the web to see the news, of course, it's fine, but if you're going to use a public hotspot to email or do a network transaction, think about it. If the hot spot of the connection happens to be the specialized means of some ulterior motives (a situation that is now commonplace), these people tend to eavesdrop on data transmitted through the hotspot, and to use it from the acquisition of valuable information. Although there are other measures to protect our information security when sending and receiving emails or online transactions, this is a security risk.

In addition, after connecting to a public hotspot, we and all other people connected to the hotspot are equal to joining a large local area network. While some hotspots automatically isolate all users through a certain set of security settings, it can still pose a threat to our computer security if a setup error or a hotspot provides this functionality. For example, someone might be able to access our shared files.
