Securing your Wi-Fi network is a vital and indispensable thing, and it is the first step to securing your smartphone. The iPhone may actually be a phone that maintains your privacyHowever, anyone with a presence on your same network may be able to compromise your data and obtain your personal information.
Some important concepts
Before the emergence of Wi-Fi networks, the adoption of computers on networks by wires, and then, a protection protocol appeared, called Wired Equivalent Privacy, short for WEP. Then that protocol evolved into WPA. Since 2006, all routers have been equipped with the new protocol, WPA2, which is more accurate and secure than its predecessor. And it was circulated on all Wi-Fi networks.
How to activate WPA2
Firstly: You have to enter the router settings control page by typing IP in Safari or any other browser. Usually, the IP address is http://192.168.1.1, but some routers have a different address. It can be obtained in the following way.
If you use a Mac:
◉ Go to System Preferences ...
◉ Click the network.
◉ Select Advanced ... located in the lower right corner.
◉ Click on TCP / IP in the tab at the top of the window.
◉ Your IP address should be next to the word Router.
◉ Copy and paste the IP address into the URL bar in Safari, then add http: // to the beginning of the address and hit Enter.
If you are using your iPhone:
Go to the Settings app.
◉ Tap on Wi-Fi.
◉ Click on the "i" icon next to the network connection.
◉ You will see your IP address next to the password.
Second: Log in to the settings page using the default username and password (in the event that this is the first time that you log into the settings page), and often use the password admin as a username and password.
ThirdA list of main commands will appear for you, which can be on the left of the screen or at the top of the screen, depending on your router.
From the main command menu, click Wireless Settings. Then the Security section.
Select the encryption protocol of your choice. If possible, you should choose WPA2. If you don't have this option available, switch to WPA.
FourthlyChange the password. This is the password that you will use on your devices to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Make sure the password you choose is tough enough.
FifthlyOnce done, click on the Apply button.
NB: From the same list of wireless settings, it is always better to change the name of the Wi-Fi network, which by default matches the name of the router. Leaving the network name the same is an easy target for hackers.

In front of my Wi-Fi an alert that it is vulnerable. Press for more. He advised me to move to wpa2 (aes) or wpa3
Peace be upon you ,
I need a program to find out the presence of the Wi-Fi
Thank you
Hi,
There is also a feature to identify devices capable of communicating with the router by entering MAC address for each device
Peace be upon you. I did not get the answer to my question
Peace be upon you, Ramadan Kareem
What about a security flaw that was present in the Apple system 6 years ago, which was exposed by Zicobs, which exposed one and a half billion Even to the hack ???
Please, a dedicated article so that we know how much about the truth of the topic. Thank you
I understand from your words that I choose AES
Yes sure
Thank you - featured article
In some routers, you can hide the network or Wi-Fi signal .. I mean, it becomes unknown as if there is no wireless
The Egyptian Telecom Router is this feature?
Thank you for this nice topic
Thank you effort
God bless you, a very important and distinctive article,
Unfortunately, WPA2 encryption still has its limits and is somewhat outdated. It takes no minutes for it to be penetrated. One of the disadvantages of this technique is that it reduces the network speed, especially if the internet speed is slow due to the huge amount of encryption
I recommend the following:
1- Disable the WPS feature, which is an acronym for
Wi-Fi Protected Setup
2- Putting a password for your network as long as possible, consisting of letters, numbers and symbols.
3- Change the default username and password for the settings page.
4- Change the password periodically, such as every month, for example
I wish, God returns, a synchronized application.
My dear, it is available as a standalone app on the App Store
Can we know how to make the Wi-Fi signal visible only on the phone or computer screen without connecting?
Peace be upon you
May God reward you well and thank you
May Allah reward you. Your efforts are good. But my covenant is just a suggestion, please: - The explanation and introduction in your article has become very long. Introduction and much explanation. Please only brief explanations, arranged digitally. We are in the era of speed and shortcut. Thank you
Thank you
May Allah reward you
Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you from Morocco
Thank you for your effort
Some people are advised to enter Mac study
And determine the devices allowed to access the network
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Can I know what is the difference between
WPA2-psk (TKIP)
(ESA)
(TKIP & AES)
TKIP and AES are two different types of encryption that can be used by a Wi-Fi network, TKIP is actually an older encryption protocol that was introduced with WPA to replace the insecure WEP encryption, TKIP is very similar to WEP encryption and TKIP is no longer secure, and it is now discontinued. In other words, you shouldn't be using it.
