 How to Set Up a Safe Wi-Fi Network at Home

Follow these easy steps to set up and protect your Wi-Fi network so no one else can use it without your permission.

What You Need

• A Wi-Fi router

• Internet modem (from your provider)

• Ethernet cable (comes with the router)

• A phone, tablet, or computer

• Your internet account details

Steps to Follow

1. Connect Your Router to the Modem

• Plug your modem into a power outlet.

• Use the Ethernet cable to connect the modem to your router (look for the “WAN” port on the router).

• Turn both devices on.

2. Open Your Router’s Settings

• On your phone or computer, open a web browser and type the router’s IP address (like 192.168.1.1; find it on the label of the router).

• Log in with the username and password from the router label.

3. Change the Login Details

• Go to “Settings” or “Admin.”

• Create a new username and password that’s hard to guess.

4. Name Your Network

• Find the “Wi-Fi Name” or “SSID” section.

• Choose a unique name, but don’t use personal info like your name or address.

5. Set a Strong Wi-Fi Password

• Create a password with at least 12 characters using letters, numbers, and symbols.

Why These Steps Are Important

• A strong password can stop others from using your internet or stealing your information.

• Changing default settings makes it harder for hackers to get in.
