How can I secure my Wi-Fi network?

Securing a Wi-Fi network is essential to protect personal and business information from unauthorized access. Time Warner Cable Commercial Class Internet Technical Support emphasizes the importance of implementing several strategies to enhance the security of a Wi-Fi network. First, it is advisable to change the default network name, or SSID, to something unique and not easily identifiable. This helps mask the network from casual users. Next, employing a strong password is fundamental. A password should be complex, including a mixture of letters, numbers, and symbols, to make it difficult for outsiders to guess. Enabling WPA3 encryption, if available, provides the highest level of security for wireless networks. It is also a good practice to disable features such as WPS, which can create vulnerabilities. Regularly updating the router’s firmware is important as updates often include security patches that can protect the network from emerging threats. Additionally, consider setting up a guest network for visitors, isolating their access from the main network. Always review connected devices to monitor for any unauthorized access, and consider adjusting the router's settings to limit access to known devices only.
