WIFI

Wifi era has started, increasing the development of more flamboyant wifi in Indonesia since dibebaskannya use 2.4Ghz frequency by the government, so many network wifi / hotspot start scattered in major cities in the land of our water, but the development of this hope-hope marked by anxious owners hotspot, I fear pierced!, the question is how to preserve or minimize the risk
security of our hotspot, wifi nih bung, would love suggestions:

1. Enable the use of WPA and WEP encryption you use is not that any person can go, with this system, each computer has the authority to speak with fellow members worgroupnya, outside the members of "no entry", WEP and WPA are also able to
prosecute acts of "tap" data traffic on your wifi network, so data such as username, paaword, bank account, etc. love letter, Allah can be safe, you should enable WEP security on the level of maximum 128-bit instance, and change password periodically, eg 3-4 days once.
2. Hide Service Set Id (SSID) on the Access Points you, because with the SSID set to Open, then easily found by other people who do scanning wifi network, so people can have bad intention nyerobot to go to your hotspot network, nah lu!

3. Register the MAC address computer / laptop you are a client, the MAC Address Filtering feature in your access points, so that the computer that you want to access the hotspot can be obstructed, a permit must first have a donk on ............. .

4. Make classes scanning on your network, who knows, there is ip address that is connecting to the foreign or bercokol on your network, so use a static ip address, not dynamic, it is better to use the ip address that is different between access points and network and local / gateway you.

5. The latter, often read on the internet on sites that discuss security, who knows there is a bug in the driver points you access, such as the new-barupf this wifi driver on the notebook that lets Apple brand can attack in the remote, when you need to update it your wifi device firmware, but be careful firmware update can cause a risk of damage to your device wifi, search for information before.
