Securing your Smart Home Connectivity & Network

As more and more devices connect to your smart home network, it’s important to ensure that your network is secure. In this article, we’ll share some tips for securing your smart home connectivity and network.

  1. Use a Strong Password: One of the simplest ways to secure your network is to use a strong password. Avoid using easily guessable passwords such as “123456” or “password”. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to create a strong password.
  2. Enable WPA2 Encryption: WPA2 is the strongest encryption standard available for Wi-Fi networks. Make sure that your router is set up to use WPA2 encryption to secure your network.
  3. Disable WPS: Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a feature that makes it easy to connect to a Wi-Fi network. However, it can also make it easier for unauthorized users to access your network. If your router supports WPS, make sure to disable it.
  4. Keep Your Router Up-to-Date: Regularly updating your router’s firmware can help improve its performance and security. Check with your router’s manufacturer for instructions on how to update its firmware.
  5. Disable Remote Management: Many routers allow you to manage your network from a remote location. While this can be convenient, it can also be a security risk. If your router supports remote management, make sure to disable it.
  6. Monitor Your Network: Regularly monitor your network for any unusual activity. If you notice any unauthorized access or strange behavior, take action to secure your network.

By following these tips, you can secure your smart home connectivity and network and protect your personal and sensitive information. If you need help securing your network, please contact our support team.
