How to Protect Wi-Fi network

1.Use WPA:

Many of the WI-Fi connections provides WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) for protecting your wireless network, but now a day it can be easily broken/hacked by the hackers by using a simple hacking suite within no time. So to protect your wireless network to the fullest you can use WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), and in this you have to make sure that WPS (Wireless Protect Setup) is disabled in the router’s settings. This is the Most Basic and Important Tip to Protect your Wi-Fi Network

2.Use a strong & Secure WPA Password

Always make sure that the password that you select for your wireless network is long and random so that it can’t be cracked/hacked by any kind of hacker. And to test how strong is your password you can use CloudCracker service.
In this service you will be asked some data and that you need to feed in (not the password), and then it will try identifying your password (it’s done in the same way the hacker tries to find out your password), if it fails to find your password then you are ready to use your wireless network and if it finds out your password then you have no other choice left other than changing your password.

3.Separate Network for Guests:

If you are indulged in a business which allows visitors to use your Wi-Fi then it is sensible that you offer a guest network. By doing this the visitors will be able to connect to the internet without getting access to your company’s internal network. This will effectively help you in protecting your company’s information and also from any kind of malware and virus affecting your network or system.

4.Hide your network name

Whenever you get connected with a wireless network first and the foremost thing you need to do is change its settings, as according to the default setting wireless network’s name is broadcasted to make it easy to find and connect. But Service set identifier (SSID) can also be set to “Hidden” so that no one except you will be allowed to view the name of your wireless network. Hence it Helps to Protect Wi-Fi Network.

Why I Wake Up Early (And 9 Reasons You Should Do So Too)

Here are 9 reasons why I say this: 1. Get a head start When you wake up at 5am, you start your day earlier than 99.9% of the world — hence giving you a head start in your day. This creates a feel-good factor, which, while psychological, creates a host of positive effects (especially for reasons #2 and #3 in the list). After all, a good start is half the battle won. It will motivate you to stay ahead so you can maintain or even widen the lead. For example, my modus operandi when I wake up early is to work on the high-impact tasks right away, as opposed to the small, easy but unimportant tasks. I will also think and work effectively, and strive to end my day earlier so that I can have an early sleep, wake up early the next day, and continue my “head start.” On the whole, I’d say that I’m more forward thinking and proactive in managing my tasks — since I have a head start in my day, I naturally think about how I can be ahead in my work too. On the other hand, when I wake up ...

Hate your finicky Wi-Fi router? Google does too, apparently. Google announced Tuesday that it's making a Wi-Fi router called OnHub, which is designed to alleviate the typical frustrations of buggy routers.

IMAGE: GOOGLE Google thinks there are benefits to this design: In its announcement post, it explains many people keep unsightly routers hidden away under desks and behind TVs where they don't work as well.  If the router is more pleasing to the eye, Google says, people will be more likely to keep it out in the open. A win-win. Within the cy...
