Wireless Networking Precautions








Wireless security is important at home and in corporations. If you have an unsecured wireless network in your home, anyone close by can spy on your online activities. Depending on how your home network is set up, someone could even gain full access to your computer’s hard drive over an unsecured wireless network. That person could steal files or even give your computer a virus.

Your neighbors could steal your internet connection. This will deprive you of bandwidth that you are paying for. If your neighbor conducted illegal activity while online, it could be traced back to your network. When purchasing a wireless router or if you have a wireless router that has an unsecure network create a password for it. Secure your wireless network because you never know what an intruder might do.
