Wireless network security Wireless router stealth

Wireless network is more and more popular, in the convenience of us at the same time, also brought us a lot of security risks. In order not to allow users without permission to access illegally, hidden wireless router is undoubtedly a good way.

The most direct way to hide a wireless router in the air is to have it stop the SSID broadcast, SSID broadcast features wireless networks created by wireless routers that allow clients to search, which facilitates access to the wireless network, but also facilitates illegal access, so in situations where security is needed, such as a corporate network, It's best to forbid it.

As a result, a program with a Windows or wireless network card will not be able to search for the wireless network created by the wireless router as usual, and to access it you can only manually add preferred networks and specify the SSID name.

Hiding the SSID broadcast but unable to deal with Netstumber, it can detect a hidden wireless network, so you must reuse some of the features of the wireless router itself, including stopping the DHCP service and modifying the default IP address of the LAN port, because the SSID of the wireless network is broadcast outward, Even if the wireless network is detected, if the intruder does not obtain or configure the IP address of the same network segment as the wireless router, or cannot connect to the wireless router, this is also a prerequisite for TCP/IP network communication, that is, the IP address of the device must be on the same network segment.
