    Best way to secure Wireless Network
    « on: January 06, 2015, 09:45:29 PM »
    Hello everyone, I wanted to ask if you could provide recommendations on software that can help protect my wireless network from attacks? If you could kindly provide me with reliable websites or guides, that would be very helpful. Thank you for your help.

    You don't need any sort of software, just use WPA2 security on the network.

      Thank you. I'm just a little bit worried about hackers that's why.

      Don't be - WPA2 is still classed as extremely secure.  Also think of how far your wireless network reaches, someone would have to sit locally trying to get into it and even if they did, there isn't that much damage that they could do.

        hello you can ask him to simply change the password that would deauthenticate the users on the network. Else he may use MAC address filtering to allow specific devices through his network.
