Safeguard your wireless network Service Set Identifier (SSID)

To stop outsiders from simply accessing your network, avoid broadcasting your SSID. All Wi-Fi routers allow users to shield their device’s SSID, which makes it more difficult for attackers to locate a network. At the very least, alter your SSID to something unique. Leaving it as the manufacturer’s default could allow a possible attacker to identify the type of router and possibly exploit any known vulnerabilities.
