Here’s a list of ways to secure your home network from unauthorized access:
- Update all security software, anti-virus, and firewalls: Make sure that all devices connected to your home network are running the latest software updates and security patches.
- Change your router's password: Change the default password for your router. Create a password that's difficult to guess and difficult to crack using common methods.
- Enable encryption: Encrypt your network, so that only those with the proper access credentials can access your network.
- Disable remote access: Disable remote access features on your network, so it's not possible for someone to gain access from a remote location.
- Restrict wireless access: Create a separate SSID for guests, and restrict access to only certain areas of your network.
