Two steps to stay away from dangerous Wireless Network Security Settings

We all have some opinions on the development of wireless networks. network security problems in networks have always plagued us, here we will describe two ways to solve the wireless network security settings.

Wireless Networks have more security risks than wired networks. Because wireless signals are not limited by space, they can be easily connected only within the coverage range. Therefore, it is extremely important to enhance the security of wireless networks. When talking about security, everyone has their own solutions. In wireless networks, the author believes that in addition to regular security measures, computers and routes in the networks should also be hidden to avoid being searched by intruders.

Wireless Network Security Settings 1. Hide the computer

There are many methods to hide your computer. Here we will introduce some common methods.

Doscommand Method

For computers in the LAN, open the Command Prompt window and enter "net config server/hidden: yes" at the prompt to achieve stealth.

Cancel sharing

Open the Properties window for the local wireless connection, and select the Microsoft network file and printer sharing option under "Use the following items for this connection" in the "General" tab, then, click the detach button to unmount the file and print sharing service, which can also be invisible.

Group Policy Method

For Windows 2000/XP users, you can also use group policies. Run "gpedit. msc open the Group Policy, find "Computer Configuration> Windows Settings> Security Settings> Local Policy> User Rights Assignment", and find "Access this computer from network" in the right window ", delete all users.

For Windows XP SP2 users, we can also use the firewall to solve this problem. Hacker intrusion usually uses the Ping command to determine whether the host is online. We can Ping him. Go to the control panel, Open Windows Firewall, switch to the "advanced" tab, select wireless connection in "network connection settings", and click "set" to switch the window to "ICMP ", disable both incoming and outgoing requests. When you Ping the server, you cannot determine whether the host is online.

Wireless Network Security Settings 2. Hide wireless routes

Many users generally enable SSID broadcast to facilitate client connection. In fact, if the client is relatively fixed, we don't need it at all. We should stop broadcasting it to make it invisible, so as to avoid illegal computer access within the range of signal coverage.

Different devices use the same method to Disable SSID broadcast. You only need to log on to the management interface and find the SSID broadcast settings to disable it. For example, if our wireless route is TL-WR 340G, click the basic configuration command under Wireless Parameters on the left after logging on to the configuration interface, enter the SSID name above the window that appears, cancel the "enable SSID broadcast" item and click "save. After disabling SSID broadcast, you only need to manually add the first network and enter the SSID name when the client needs to connect.

Although the above method does not absolutely guarantee the security of the wireless network, hiding the corresponding devices will prevent most illegal intrusion.
