Ensuring Security with Your iStore WLAN Dongle
It’s important that only you and other trusted users can connect to your system and that hackers and unwanted users are kept out.
Follow these tips for securing your WLAN dongle connection:
- Choose a unique, hard-to-guess password for your Wi-Fi network and update it regularly.
- Use WPA3 or WPA2 Wi-Fi network encryption to secure communication between your devices. This security feature protects your data by scrambling it, making it harder for unauthorised users to access your network. Log into your router’s admin panel and select WPA3 or WPA2 encryption under the "Wi-Fi Security" or "Encryption" options.
- Regularly check for software updates for your iStore WLAN dongle to stay protected against security vulnerabilities.
- Regularly review the devices connected to your network to spot any unfamiliar or suspicious activity.
As well as improving overall security, regular software updates will keep your WLAN dongle functioning optimally. Periodically rebooting your router and dongle will also help refresh connections and ensure smooth operation.
