Step 10 to Simple Online Security: Secure Your Wi-Fi

This is just one step in a series created to help anyone improve their online security regardless of their technical knowledge. For more information, see our complete Simple Online Security series.

Your Wi-Fi router—whether it’s built into your modem or connected to your modem by an Ethernet cable—is the device that broadcasts a network that your computers and devices connect to. If your router isn’t set up properly, it can also be a potential door for someone else to step into your home network. Setting up your network securely takes only a few steps, but the router you have will determine how easy the process is. Every router brand has a different interface, so we can’t provide specific directions here—but the four changes we do recommend are the same for every router.
