Every Wifi Network is at risk

If you have a wifi router or modem at home or at work, be aware that you risk that someone hack and enter your network, so if you want to be fully safe read carefully :

Change Your Router’s Password: Every router ships with a default login/password combination. The exact combination varies from model to model but it’s easy enough to look up the default that leaving it unchanged is just asking for trouble. Open Wi-Fi combined with the default password is essentially leaving your entire network wide open. You can check out default password lists here .

Turn On and/or Upgrade Your Network Encryption:
Wi-Fi encryption comes in several flavors for home use such as WEP , WPA , and WPA2 . In addition WPA/WPA2 can be further subdivided as WPA/WPA2 with TKIP  (a 128-bit key is generated per packet) and AES  (a different 128-bit encryption). If possible you want to use WP2 TKIP/AES as AES is not as widely adopted as TKIP. Allowing your router to use both will enable to use the superior encryption when available.

WPA is secure WEP is not, WPA2 is practically unhackable.
