How to encrypt a wireless router

today, wireless routers are a number of broadband users of the necessary equipment for the family, wireless broadband for users to enjoy the digital life has brought a lot of convenience. However, wireless network due to transmission through the wireless signal, there are many netizens in the use of wireless routers, there has been wireless broadband was "rub net" problem. Be "rub net" not only speed will become slow, and chat record, personal photograph, account password and so on information also can have the danger of divulging. The following script of the small series for you to introduce a number of wireless router encryption techniques, super useful.

　　1. Turn off SSID Broadcast

The SSID is the name of the wireless network, and when you set up the wireless network, users generally give their home wireless network a good memory of the SSID. The general wireless router's SSID broadcast function is open, although it is convenient for users to log on the network, but "rub the net" people will easily find it, so we recommend that users turn off the SSID broadcast function. Users can login to the router's management interface, the "Enable SSID Broadcast" function of the "check" to remove, and then point to apply.

In this way, if someone wants to rub the net again, can not search your wireless signal.

Some users may ask, can not find the wireless signal, they need to connect what to do?

Users can select "Network and Sharing Center information" in the computer's control panel, find "set up a new connection or network" and click on "Manually Connected wireless network". Then, enter the wireless network SSID, password, and in the "even if the network does not broadcast also connected" check box to tick, click Next to the system will automatically scan the corresponding network signal access network.

　　2. Disable WEP mode encryption

A lot of people in the use of routers, password settings on the choice of WEP password, this password protection method is too simple, "rub the net" is easy to break through the tool, in the signal intensity is high, about 1 minutes can crack the password.

It is recommended that users use the WPA2 method in the wireless router to encrypt, and the security will be higher. The method is: Login Router management interface, click Advanced Settings-Wireless settings-wireless security (or wireless encryption)-Safe mode, select the WPA2, enter the wireless encryption password, click OK.

　　3. Turn on Mac Filter

Today's smartphones and tablets have wireless cards, each with a unique MAC address, similar to our ID number. Users can bind their MAC address and wireless router to their home wireless devices, allowing only the specified wireless network card to access their wireless networks, adding an entry limit to their wireless network.

In the router settings interface, into the advanced settings-Wireless settings-Wireless network card access list (MAC address filtering), click Add, the device will automatically show the MAC address connected to the router, select their own MAC address, and then click Application, your network will remember your electronic equipment.

　　4. Reduce the power of the router

The greater the power of the wireless router, the stronger the intensity of the network signal, and the wider the coverage, the greater the probability of "rubbing the net" accordingly. If you reduce the transmission power of the wireless signal properly, other people can not receive the signal, or the signal is very weak, can not "rub the net".

The user chooses the "advanced" option in the router's configuration interface, and then selects and modifies the router's transmitting power.
