\"Protecting<\/p>\n

Your Wi-Fi network at home<\/strong> is sacred. Allowing a friend to access to your Wi-Fi network is now the equivalent of letting them getting something out of your fridge.<\/p>\n

When someone hijacks your Wi-Fi and slows it down, it is not only a breach of trust but a breach of privacy<\/strong>. However, we have the solution:<\/p>\n

Two key applications<\/h2>\n

In order to find out if someone is accessing your network, we are going to use some applications: IP Tools Wi-Fi Analyzer<\/a> and\u00a0Who’s On My Wi-Fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

IP Tools Wi-Fi Analyzer allows you to configure everything in the fabric of your internet connection. Likewise, it is also able to show if there are technical difficulties<\/strong>. You will know if there are connection failures<\/strong> as well. It also tells you which devices are currently connected to your network.<\/p>\n

In the case of Who’s On My Wi-Fi, the functions are more limited than in IP Tools Wi-Fi Analyzer. However, the name says it all. It sees who is on your Wi-Fi connection<\/strong> and takes the appropriate measures. We recommend downloading both applications, but we will use the latter to perform the analysis.<\/p>\n

Open Who’s On My Wi-Fi and look for the network to which you are connected. In a matter of seconds, the application shows all the devices that are using your internet connection. From here, you can kick trespassers off your virtual lawn.<\/strong> You need to enter your network information to do so.<\/p>\n

\"Who's<\/p>\n

Staying protected<\/h2>\n

Another way to do this is by changing the router password.<\/strong> Once you modify the password, that person cannot connect again.<\/p>\n

You pay for your Wi-Fi connection with your hard-earned money<\/strong>, so you should get to decide who is using it. If someone is going to try and sneak into your system, don’t be afraid to virtually go “Gran Torino” on them.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
