Some "Rub network card" with the crack software, is mainly the use of WEP encryption wireless network for brute force. WEP encryption can only prevent the novice, and can not prevent the master, so do not recommend the use. # (Z8 I ' z% J2 X

Wireless networks can be encrypted without a password

If you don't "catch a cold" on that number of passwords, you'll often forget about it, so you can choose to use a locked MAC address to encrypt it. As long as the device can be connected to the Internet, whether it is a computer card or a mobile phone, a tablet computer, there is a unique MAC address. Setting a locked MAC address in a router allows the device that owns the address to surf the internet, and because of its uniqueness, it provides effective security. C6 q! Y9 o-b6 L "I

Usually there are three kinds of MAC address filtering options in the router, turn off: Turn off MAC filtering; Allow: only devices listed in the MAC address on the list can access the Internet; The machine that lists the MAC address in the list is not available. In use, you must first set up a permit list, to allow the Internet equipment to fill out the MAC address, only listed on the white list of devices to access the Internet through the router.

Locking a MAC address is a safe and convenient way to use a wireless network if you have a fixed device in your home. However, if you often have friends to visit your home, but also want to use their own equipment to surf the Internet, that each must enter the router to modify settings, obviously very troublesome. Therefore, if there is a constant change in the condition of the device, it is more convenient to use password encryption.

How to view MAC addresses

In addition, such as mobile phone, tablet computer MAC address can be seen there? Take the Android system for example, click on the "Settings" menu, click "About Mobile" → "status message", in the "WLAN MAC Address" Item 6-bit double-byte character is the MAC address. Remember, don't tell anyone about this address easily.
