Wireless routers, as an Internet portal for homes, have become essential network devices for every family. Just as we lock our homes at home and out of doors, our wireless network should also be protected. However, the actual situation is not the case. The WiFi passwords in many users' homes are not very secure. They are like ordinary locks, and they are very easy to be attacked. Once the wireless router in your home collapses, your connected smartphones, tablets, smart home devices, etc. will all have security risks.

Behind the wireless router's fuselage, we can usually find a nameplate with the SSID (wireless network name) and WiFi password of the wireless router. This is the factory default setting. When we set up the wireless router for the first time, we should change the default SSID and WiFi password. The default WiFi password of the same device is the same, and it is easy to be cracked by criminals. Similarly, the background management account and password of the router is the same brand of equipment, the default account number and password are the same, once the crackers break it will take over our wireless router.
When our wireless network is targeted, lawbreakers use technical means to obtain our WiFi password. There is a "dictionary" database in their hands. There are many common wireless password combinations and we get our WiFi password through "violent" methods. After obtaining the WiFi password, criminals can connect to our wireless network. In the next step, its goal is the background of the wireless router. If we still use a password such as “adminâ€, it is easy for criminals to enter the background of the router. Once this happens, the next step is to hijack our DNS server and direct network access to a phishing site that it has built.
Wireless routers hijacked by criminals are very dangerous. As long as our smartphones, tablet PCs and other devices access the Internet through routers, they will visit phishing websites, causing leakage of our personal information and seriously leading to the loss of personal property. Therefore, we suggest that everyone must pay attention to the security of wireless routers. The WiFi password is best set to a combination of "letter + number + symbol" to increase the difficulty of cracking. The same is true for the backend account password of the wireless router, and the WiFi password must not be the same as the background management password. The safer way is to bind the MAC address and IP address and hide their own SSID to achieve relatively safe protection level.
