How is it safe to walk away from WiFi?

Yesterday, a small partner asked Xiaobian WiFi old bedding network, what methods can completely put an end to this situation, today Xiaobian to focus on the problem of WiFi encryption and put network with everyone, what exactly can be completely eliminated this problem.

Choose the most important encryption mode

The first gateway to place the network is the WiFi password. At present, most wireless routers provide at least three or more encryption methods. These encryption methods can distinguish between good and bad. Let us first understand.

WEP

WEP is an abbreviation of Wired Equivalent Privacy. The “Wired Equivalent Privacy” (WEP) protocol is a method of encrypting data transmitted wirelessly between two devices. It was eliminated by Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) in 2003. In 2004 it was replaced by the full IEEE 802.11i standard (also known as WPA2). It is an indisputable fact that the WEP encryption mode is easily cracked. It is not known why today's routers still have this ancient encryption standard. Xiaobian strongly does not recommend using this encryption method.

Safety: ☆☆

WPA-PSK [TKIP]

WPA-PSK [TKIP] is actually a temporary supplemental encryption protocol. Basically, he continues WEP's encryption theory, but the encryption effect is better. However, this encryption method will affect the wireless network speed, and after all, is a temporary agreement, then it was replaced by WPA2.

Safety: ☆☆☆

WPA2-PSK [AES]

The so-called AES in WPA2-PSK [AES] is the meaning of the advanced encryption algorithm, and further perfects the encryption mechanism. It can be said that this mode is not easily cracked, and it does not affect the network speed and the performance is better.

Safety: ☆☆☆☆

WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]

Another encryption mode is WPA-PSK(TKIP)+WPA2-PSK(AES), which is the highest encryption mode in wireless routers currently. The encryption mode currently used by Xiaobian is mainly such hybrid encryption with the highest degree of security. . However, this model does not exist in some routers, if so, Xiao Bian recommends using AES WPA2-PSK encryption mode to set WiFi

Safety: ☆☆☆☆☆

Hiding the SSID is also a good idea

Still further is to hide the SSID of WiFi, this so-called SSID actually refers to the name of the WiFi signal.

If you don't know the WiFi name, you can't start, so he can't be solved. However, there is no perfection. Some special devices, such as some smart sockets, can't be searched under the condition of hidden WiFi. You must turn on the WiFi SSID broadcast.

Still further is the white list mode

The so-called white list is to use the MAC address of the network device to set the admission system. The mac address device in the list can access the network. Each device has a globally unique set of hexadecimal addresses. This address is not duplicated. There is no doubt that this type of security mode is the highest, because even if the encryption mode does not work well, it will be broken by the Internet and it will not be a router. The white list is set and the network cannot be accessed.

About the mac address of your device, you can click on your own network icon (lower right corner of the task bar) in Win10, and then click on your own connected network drop down in Ethernet/WLAN to see the attribute information of the network device. Find your own mac address information, fill in the router's mac address list in the figure above can be (each router interface is different, you need to find out for yourself).

Finally, use a shared APP that can collect WiFi passwords. If the route has a guest mode, the maximum is to allow visitors to access the WiFi mode of the guest mode, which is much safer.
