Wireless network is something we all
have been dealing with over the past few years. When I was a child
and got my first computer we had to drill holes through our floors to
go to the garage in the house to get all of our computers hard wired.
Now that we have wifi(wireless networks) we were able to get rid of
all the wires, plug the holes and make the house look good again.
Wireless networks have many pluses but, there is always a downside to
everything. The plus about wireless is we can use it everywhere, no
ugly wires, and no hassle to connect. The down side about wireless
networks is the security. Being within a wireless network it opens
out computer information up. It doesn't just throw you info into the
world but, it does make it easier to hack info.
In order to make sure our computers
are safe here are a few easy steps you can take to protect your
computer. Put up a fire wall this will enable your computer to
fight off the hackers. While you are in a public wifi zone it is s
good idea to just brows the internet and not make any large purchases
while in public wifi. It is also suggested that you do not use
public wifi to do your banking. This information is very important
and you want to make sure you are in a secure network before doing
so. While you are on a wireless network it is also advised for you
to remove you public share on folders, this is your information and
you do not need other people snooping around. While on wireless
networks it is important to make sure you take precautions.
