5 simple habits to secure your Wi-Fi

A well-protected network starts with simple habits, just as relevant at home as in the office.

1. Change your router's default password as soon as it's installed — factory passwords are often known or easy to guess.

2. Use a long, unique Wi-Fi password, different from your other passwords.

3. Enable WPA2 or WPA3 encryption on your access point; avoid open networks for anything sensitive.

4. Regularly update your network equipment's firmware.

5. On a shared network (a public Hotspot, for example), avoid entering sensitive information without a secure (HTTPS) connection.

These habits take only a few minutes but significantly reduce the risk of intrusion on your network.
