To go online you can use two types of network connection, Wireless and Wired. If you have more than one computer at your home or office you can also connect them with home network. In most of the cases, the PC users are in dilemma, which one to choose Wireless or Wired Network. Well, whatever network you choose, remember you should take proper measures before going online. You can contact a PC Support provider that offer Network support to the PC users.
To protect the network from hackers, you should have detailed information about the both these two types of network. Wireless network is hugely popular as it does not require drilling holes through walls or stringing cable to set up the network. Just you need to configure the network settings of the computer for the connection. Experts say that there is adequate chance of security breach in wireless network. This is because with a WiFi network, the data are transferred through the air. So, if there is flaw on the network or if there is problem in the computer, the hackers can easily hack important data without the knowledge of the computer user. The most interesting thing is that the job could be easily accomplished by sitting in a nearby apartment or parking outside your home. If you are using wireless internet, you should take extra precaution to protect your computer.
On the contrary, a hardwired Ethernet network is much safer and secure than wireless network. It does not mean that this does not have any chance of online security breach. But if you consider the probability, here the chance is very less. However, for both wired and wireless network, some certain security measures need to be followed to protect your important information.
To protect your wireless and wired network, you must secure both the network and the computer. Install and updated the security software which is generally served with the wireless or wired router. It is also suggested to rename the network. Commonly it is seen that routers use their own identifiable names (SSIDs which is easy to crack by the hackers. Changing this name is very important. It is also recommended to make the use of the media access control (MAC) feature which is an in-built feature of the router. This allows the network users to restrict network access.
It is also suggested to turn the firewall option on in all the PCs. Install powerful Internet security software and use the latest and updated security software. Routers come with several levels of password protection in the software. Use at least WPA (Wi-Fi protected access) or WPA Personal passwords.
There is no dearth of computer services companies that offer wide range of PC security support to the computer users. Explore internet and choose any of these service provider to enjoy hassle-free and secure computing.
Recently, I was asked by a friend (Amp) on how to turn a router into a wireless adapter. He wanted to do this because wireless signal was weak in his room because of how far away his router was. Long story short, I helped him figure it out. That began to make me think about my current situation (as I sat in my basement). I, too, wanted to put my stuff in my room but my router signal quality (not signal strength) was too poor to have good connection. Instead of making my old router into an adapter, I decided to make it into a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater simply redistributes the signal of your original source (being my original wireless router). So you will have two wireless networks instead of one. You choose the one that’s closest to you (obviously). So I thought of making a tutorial because I would assume a lot of people could have the same situation. You’ll need a wireless router capable of using the DD-WRT firmware. I did a quick run-through on installing it. I didn’t cover a lot of the basics though mainly due to time restraint (and that the video wasn’t aimed to cover that). There are many DD-WRT guides/walkthroughs on the interweb you can find if mine didn’t explain enough. The website to check if your router is compatible is www.dd-wrt.com If you have any questions for me, please leave a comment or PM me. Thanks!
