👍 Watch about security settings for a Wi-Fi router, and how to secure a Wi-Fi network from unauthorized access. Many users neglect to configure their network security settings believing that their network is of no interest to anyone, so why would an intruder try to access it?

Unfortunately, this is a false assumption: proper security settings can protect you from identity theft as well as from unintended damage caused by other users of your network: out of curiosity, they may change the settings which interrupts its normal operation and even leave you stranded offline. That is why we recommend checking your security settings right now. 

I will show you how to configure router security settings with the example of a popular model, TP-LINK AC750 Archer C20. However, almost all routers have similar functionality, so this guide will be useful for other devices as well, the only difference being the settings menu. 

For ordinary users, completing a few steps would be enough. Change the name and password required to access the router settings, change the Wi-Fi password, and disable WPS.
