- To avoid this problem, one should use a personalized moniker and change the network name.
- Although this is a no-brainer, people often forget to setup a wifi network encryption which makes it extremely dangerous for the owner.
- By using an encryption with a difficult password will help defend against online hackers.
- Be sure to make the password something difficult to remember for other people, while using symbols and numbers to make it harder for hackers to decode.
