As paranoid as it may make you seem, refusing to give out your network's password lowers the chances of people who you don't trust finding out your network's password. Instead of giving out the password, offer to sign in friends and family when they visit rather than allowing them to sign into the Wi-Fi themselves. In addition to making your router coverage more balanced, doing this will limit the router's reach beyond your home's walls. This means that would-be network intruders won't be able to sit outside of your home and still connect to the network. Your home's size and layout may make this impossible; if so, just try to keep your router well-away from windows and external doorways. If you plan on leaving your home for a weekend or more, unplug your router and/or modem. This is more of a safety precaution than an active security measure, but it will prevent any potential attackers from connecting to your Internet while you're powerless to stop it. Even if you're going to be gone for a standard 8- or 9-hour work day, disconnecting your router will prevent any chances of your network being compromised while you're gone. It may sound stupid, but changing your clever Wi-Fi network name to a boring one will decrease the odds of it being picked out as a potential target. For example, using the router's manufacturer and its number (e.g., "Belkin-3030") as the name will make the network stand out less than if its name is "Bill Wi the Science Fi" or something similar. Network sharing allows your computer to share files and information with other computers on the network, but it also makes your computer a weak point in the network's security. To disable network sharing:   Windows - Follow these instructions.  Mac - Click the Apple menu, click System Preferences..., click Sharing, and uncheck the "File Sharing" box. . Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, direct your network traffic through one or more abnormal servers, hiding your network's activity in the process. VPNs don't necessarily secure your network so much as they hide it, but that's usually enough to prevent attacks as well as reduce the likelihood of future attacks. when it becomes obsolete. As with any technology, routers lose their value after a few years, especially in the security department. Since online threats are constantly updating and evolving, a brand-new router will be much better equipped for security than will a three- or four-year-old one.
