How to prevent the wireless router against the black net?

The day before yesterday Miyoshi Citizen shared the Tp-link wireless Router quick installation tool, lets installs the wireless router This technology to become the fool, the computer Small white also can easily install the configuration to be good. However, in the increasingly serious network security Situation today, how to protect the security of wireless routers , to prevent from being rubbed nets and black, is also a matter of concern. So today Miyoshi citizens use the ASUS rt-n10+ wireless router as an example to share tips on how to make wireless routers more secure.

1. Modify the wireless router default system management password

Wireless router default username and password are usually admin, this is well-known, how can you call the password? So, you have to modify it. For example, ASUS Rt-n10+ Wireless router, after logging into the admin interface, select Advanced Settings-System Management-system settings to modify the system password. As shown in figure:

2. Modify the wireless router default internal network address (IP address)

The default internal network address (IP address) of the wireless router is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, which is the equivalent of the hacker already knows the number, it is easy to find the door. So we can change the default internal network address (IP address) to another address, such as any IP address that can be modified to 192.168.1.2~192.168.1.254 or 192.168.0.2~192.168.0.254. Or take the ASUS rt-n10+ wireless router As an example to set the method:

After you log in to the admin interface, you can modify it by selecting Advanced Settings-Internal network-intranet address settings. As shown in figure:

After the modification, and then login to the wireless router management interface, you need to enter a new IP address in the browser address bar.

3. Wireless encryption Mode (authorized mode) Select WPA2 encryption mode

In the wireless encryption mode, the WPA2 encryption mode is a relatively secure way of authorization, so choose this mode as much as possible.

4. Try to set a long high strength password

First the number of password digits as much as possible 10 digits, if your wireless router allows, try to use numbers and uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols promiscuous way.

5. Hide the SSID of the wireless router

The SSID, which is the name of the wireless router that is displayed when we scan the WiFi hotspot when we open the WLAN, if you set the hidden SSID, the other person can't scan your router. But you can manually enter your wireless router SSID to connect, the equivalent of a secret chamber you know the entrance. The following is an example of an ASUS rt-n10+ wireless router that hides the wireless router SSID:

After you log in to the Admin interface, select Advanced Settings-Wireless network-general settings to set the hidden SSID. As shown in figure:

6. Enable MAC access mode

This is a high intensity security setting and we all know that every wireless network device (cell phone, laptop, etc.) has a unique MAC address in the world, so when Mac access mode is enabled, only wireless devices added to the whitelist will be able to connect to the wireless router. The following is an example of an ASUS rt-n10+ wireless router. To enable MAC access mode:

After you log in to the Admin interface, select Advanced Settings-Wireless network-wireless access control, then select Enabled in Mac access mode, and then add the allowed MAC address to the MAC access control list below. As shown in figure:

When Mac access mode is enabled, your wireless router is almost impregnable, and wireless devices that are not in the list are inaccessible. But if you want to add a wireless device, such as buying a new cell phone or notebook, the home guests to use and so on, but also to spend time to add a new device MAC address. If you dislike this trouble, you can look at this trick 7 below.

7. Turn off DHCP and manually specify the DHCP list of IP

This is Miyoshi. 6 Enable MAC access mode improvement, if you feel that every time the guests have to add MAC address is too cumbersome, you can not enable Mac access mode, and try this method, you can do at ordinary times very safe, visitors and easy to add.

This can normally be set to "turn off DHCP and manually specify the DHCP list for IP", as an example of Asus rt-n10+ as follows:

After you log in to the Admin interface, select Advanced Settings-Internal network –dhcp server, and then set to not enable the DHCP server, and then set the DHCP list for manually designated IP below to enable, then add the MAC address of your mobile or laptop computer, and then specify an IP address. As shown in figure:

This way, only the wireless device in the list can connect to the wireless router, and the other person's wireless device cannot connect because the IP address is not available.

If the family comes, the guest needs to connect to the wireless router for Internet access, just enable the DHCP server. But the guest's wireless device uses DHCP to assign the dynamic IP, but your original fixed IP, but the effect is the same, as long as the internet on the line.
