Networking Tips
-
Set up/Configure your router by
connecting to it via an Ethernet cable.
-
Change the router login password.
-
If you intend to use your
wireless
capabilities make sure you use the security features of your particular
router and password protect your connection. Without password
protection on a wireless network other people near your home
would
be able to connect to your network.This can lead to you paying for
bandwidth that they use, or even to the
more serious issue of them downloading illegal content that could be
associated with your connection!
-
If you are unsure as to what a
particular setting relates to READ the help files or
post a question in our forum
.Don't go changing settings
unless you are sure of the consequences of changing them.
-
There are two types of security
for wireless networks; WiFi Protected
Access (WPA) and Wired Equipment Privacy (WEP). Of these WPA is the
newer and more robust. We would recommend that you choose wireless
equipment that can use WPA.
-
Occasionally take a look at the
log files. These will often help determine hacking attempts,
router/connection stability etc. The great thing
about most
wireless routers is that they come with a
built in firewall that adds an extra layer of protection to all your
computers. We wouldn't suggest you remove firewall software from your
computers. This extra level of security is always worth having.
