Most of us have got internet access in our homes long ago. The Internet progressed so much in the past decades, and the technological development of devices created for internet use skyrocketed. <\/span><\/p>\n Wi-Fi<\/span><\/a> created a huge boom. Suddenly, we all could have access to the internet on our palms. Smartphones took over the market, and other smart devices followed. Our homes are becoming smarter every day.<\/span><\/p>\n We can <\/span>control some of the devices from work<\/span><\/a>, turn on condition, bake, wash our laundry, and access our PCs, <\/span>security cameras<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>bulbs<\/span><\/a>, or any other smart device we own. Wi-Fi made it all possible.<\/span><\/p>\n The problem with Wi-Fi is that if we don’t know <\/span>how to protect our network<\/span><\/a>, a privacy breach can happen. If you don’t secure your Wi-Fi, it can cause significant problems. If your home Wi-Fi says that your <\/span>network is unsecured<\/span><\/a>, here is what you need to know and how to protect your home network.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To set up Wi-Fi at your home, you need to have an <\/span>internet connection<\/span><\/a> first. <\/span>Wi-Fi does not provide internet access<\/b> – it’s designed to provide a wireless connection between your devices, <\/span>connecting them by radio waves<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n You can get internet access from your internet provider, and be connected to it with a modem. It can be a static modem, connected to the provider network with cables, or it can be a <\/span>portable modem that uses a 3G or 4G network to provide internet access<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n To set up a Wi-Fi network, we need a <\/span>router<\/span><\/a>. Some internet providers offer <\/span>gateways, i.e. modem\/router combos<\/span><\/a> in which case, they will come and set it up for you. To set up your Wi-Fi network at home, follow these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n The difference between public and private networks is in access to that Wi-Fi networks. The public network is the network that allows public access. The public network is a great solution if you need a free Wi-Fi connection outside your house, but it has its flaws.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>biggest flaw<\/b> of the public Wi-Fi network is its <\/span>security<\/b>. If you are connected to a <\/span>public <\/b>Wi-Fi network, your device is <\/span>vulnerable to cyber-attacks<\/b><\/a>. <\/span>Hackers can access your private data<\/span><\/a> and use it. Also, <\/span>malware<\/span><\/a> could be downloaded on your device.<\/span><\/p>\n Private networks are <\/span>better protected<\/b>. You’ll need a <\/span>password<\/span><\/a> if you want to access the private Wi-Fi network. If it’s your Wi-Fi network, you are the one to create a password. Even in your home, if you want more security, you can <\/span>set up a guest Wi-Fi network<\/span><\/a> for everybody else to use.<\/span><\/p>\n Usually, <\/span>an unsecured Wi-Fi network means that you can access that network without a password<\/span><\/a>. If you see the notification on how your <\/span>Wi-Fi is not secured<\/span><\/a>, the first thing to do is look at your <\/span>password<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you don’t have a password set up, your Wi-Fi network is public, and anyone can access it. All your smart devices are vulnerable, as are your data. Your <\/span>Wi-Fi speed<\/span><\/a> can get slower because someone is draining the bandwidth. If you have a limited data plan, it can be problematic.<\/span><\/p>\n Another reason to get the \u2018Wi-Fi is not secure\u2019 notification is the wrong settings for your router safety functions. Or your Wi-Fi network is using an <\/span>older <\/b>security standard<\/b><\/a>. Anyway, you need to address these problems immediately, and below are some easy fixes.<\/span><\/p>\n Turn on your modem, router, and computer. <\/span>Go to your router\u2019s settings<\/span><\/a> as we mentioned earlier. Now, let’s go through the security settings for your router:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you want a Wi-Fi network at your home, <\/span>you better make sure it’s properly secured<\/span><\/a>. You should have a long and complicated password. No need to ask yourself: \u201cWhy does my home Wi-Fi say unsecured network?\u201d <\/span>Just change the SSID and follow the other tips provided<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Make sure your firmware is updated and set up a guest network for other people. If you have all these requirements fulfilled, and you still get a notification that your network is unsecured, you might need to <\/span>switch to better hardware<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most of us have got internet access in our homes long ago.
