Network "invisibility" to prevent freeloading

When it comes to Wi-Fi, what everyone is most concerned about is definitely the speed of the Internet. "The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed." Occupying a high ground with strong Wi-Fi signals and fast Internet speed is like completing half of the MVP progress bar.

However, no matter how fast a Wi-Fi network is, if more people use it, the speed will slow down, and various apps that crack Wi-Fi passwords really make people feel insecure. So, how can you prevent your home network from being used by strangers?

A wireless router can help you solve this problem. The built-in anti-freeloading function of the router is designed for those who try every possible means to freeload the Internet.

The anti-freeloading function is achieved by turning off the Wi-Fi name broadcast function of the wireless router. After enabling the anti-freeloading function, the Wi-Fi network is like wearing an invisibility cloak, and others cannot detect the Wi-Fi network, so naturally they cannot freeload the network.

Carry your home computer with you

What should I do if I want to access files on my home computer while in the office or away from home, but I am worried about the security risks of exposing my home network?

The DMZ host function of the wireless router tells you: Yes, I can!

Generally speaking, in order to protect the security of the internal network, the external network cannot access the internal network. After enabling the DMZ host function, the external network can access the internal servers connected to the wireless router, such as FTP servers, WEB servers, etc.

DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a buffer zone set up between non-secure systems and secure systems. Its purpose is to solve the problem that the external network cannot access the internal network server after the firewall is installed.

When you need to access your home computer from the office, you only need to use the computer under the home wireless router as an FTP server, and then enable the DMZ function of the router, and you can use the office network to access your home computer. It is equivalent to carrying a home computer with you, which is very convenient.

Use the Internet healthily and raise your children scientifically

The setting method is very simple. Click on "Technical Man Teaches You the Correct Way to Love Your Child" to get two setting methods. With just a few simple steps, you will have a powerful weapon to prevent your children from becoming addicted to the Internet.

Host and guest separation, safety upgrade

For a family, the Wi-Fi password is related to the security of many devices in the home network. However, most people ignore this issue and generously share it with guests.

The guest network function of the wireless router can create a temporary Wi-Fi network to isolate the Wi-Fi networks used by guests and hosts. This network dedicated to temporary users is called the guest network.

The guest network has a separate Internet password, a temporary validity period, and a limited access speed, which not only prevents the leakage of the home network password, but also prevents temporary users from accessing devices in the host network and causing the leakage of user data information, thereby further ensuring the security of the home network.
