10 tips to improve your home network security

1) Change Your Wi-Fi Name (SSID) and Router Password

Most routers ship with default names and passwords that are easy to guess—or easily found online.

What to do
  • Log in to your router admin page (often 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1)

  • Change the Wi-Fi network name (SSID)

  • Change the Wi-Fi password

  • Change the router admin login password (this is separate from Wi-Fi)

Best practice
  • Use a long password (12–16+ characters)

  • Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols

  • Avoid personal information (address, name, phone, birthday)

2) Put IP Cameras and IoT Devices on a Guest Network

Smart devices often receive fewer security updates than phones and computers. That makes them a common weak point.

What to do
  • Create a Guest Wi-Fi Network

  • Use a different strong password

  • Connect IoT devices to guest network:

    • IP cameras / doorbells

    • smart TV

    • smart speakers

    • smart appliances

    • smart plugs

3) Enable Strong Wi-Fi Encryption (WPA2/WPA3)

Encryption protects your wireless traffic so outsiders can’t easily intercept it.

Best option
  • Use WPA3 if your router supports it

  • If not, use WPA2-AES (avoid WPA/WEP)

4) Turn Off Remote Management (Remote Access)

Many routers have a “remote management” or “remote admin” feature that allows the router to be controlled from outside your home.

What to do
  • In router settings, disable:

    • Remote Management

    • Remote Access

    • WAN Administration

5) Hide Your Network Name (Optional, Not Required)

Hiding your SSID can make your Wi-Fi less visible to casual scanning.

Pros
  • Network won’t show normally in Wi-Fi lists

  • Adds a small layer of “visibility protection”

Cons
  • New devices must be manually connected

  • Not a replacement for strong encryption and passwords

6) Monitor Your Network for Unknown Devices

Many people realize they were hacked after something fails. A quick device check helps you spot issues early.

What to do
  • Log into your router and check the “Connected Devices” list

  • Look for anything unfamiliar (unknown phones, smart devices, computers)

  • Use network scanning apps (optional)

7) Disable WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

WPS was designed to make device pairing easier—but it has well-known weaknesses.

What to do
  • Turn off:

    • WPS Button Pairing

    • WPS PIN Mode

8) Upgrade to a WPA3 Router if Possible

If your router is older, it may lack:

  • WPA3

  • modern security patches

  • better firewall protections

  • stable performance for IP cameras

What to do
  • Ask your ISP for a router upgrade, or buy a reputable WPA3 router

  • Choose a model that supports:

    • WPA3

    • automatic updates

    • strong device management controls

9) Update (or Remove) Old Devices

Even with strong Wi-Fi security, outdated devices can become the “weak link.”

What to do
  • Update firmware on:

    • router

    • IP cameras

    • NVR/NAS

    • smart devices and apps

  • If a device no longer gets updates, consider replacing it

10) Turn Off Wi-Fi When Away for Extended Periods

If you leave home for a long time (vacation, business travel), reducing exposure helps.

Best approach
  • If it won’t affect critical devices, shut Wi-Fi off

  • If you rely on cameras remotely, instead:

    • keep Wi-Fi on

    • disable remote router management

    • ensure devices are updated

    • use strong passwords and encryption
