How can I be assured that my WiFi connection was not being accessed by our neighbors and is there any application that detect or prevent intruders in connecting to my WiFi?
My WiFi has a password and it is only exclusive for family use.
To find out whether your WiFi is being used by your neighbors or not:
To prevent intruders in connecting to your WiFi:
Under the Wireless tab on the sidepanel of the page, look for "Wireless MAC Filtering"
There you can make a list for Enabled devices (in which you can list the MAC address of the computers to use your WiFi only) and by doing so, the people who aren’t added in the list would not be able to connect to your WIFI even by knowing the password
Hi,
If you try to connect your WiFi and you put password on it, then your wireless network is secured. And also, I will highly recommend to set the security level to WPA instead to WEP. You also need to go to the router's setup to change the password and the security levels.
The default IP address for most routers is 192.168.1.1.
Type this in your web browser's address bar and it did ask username and password. Well, the username will be usually "admin" and the Linksys router the default password is also "admin".
On the Netgear routers the default password is just " password ".
I am hoping this simple instruction helps.
