Secure your Wireless world ...


Secure your Wireless Router Using WEP

The world is so advanced and fast the people can't afford to have any kind of time lag in communication. In this run wireless networks(Wi-Fi,Bluetooth,infrared etc.) play an essential role. In this article we the 'tech-da-hack' team is sharing way to secure your wi-fi using WEP.

A wireless network helps a home network to be more volatile. In a wireless network one dosent have to have to look for the ethernet cables ,instead he/she can access the internet or the systems in homenetwork using a wireless adaptor. We have to secure our network from the mallicious or unauthorized users.

In order to make our network secured we have to setup our router's WEP(Wireless Equivalence Privacy) settings.

In order to setup the router first we need a connection with it.

Once you are connected to the router:

* Open your browser and in address bar type the address of your routers access page.Some of the commen routers and their address are:

-> BSNL - 192.168.1.1

-> NETGEAR - 192.168.0.1

-> Airtel - 192.168.1.1

*enter the username and password.Some of the common username and passwords are:

Netgear

username-admin

password-password / 1234

Airtel

username -user

password-password

BSNL

username-admin

password-admin

*Now, look for a tab named "security" on the main router page. In the security select "WEP" as your security type ans choose a password for your network.

* Click on "apply changes" and sing out.

caution: Dont select the "restore factory default settings"

* You may need to reboot your computer in order to apply the settings.

* Now, whener anyone tries to connect to your router the router will ask for the password.

ENJOY THE SECURED WORLD OF BROWSING !!!

Public computers are now secure for Facebook

Users who access their Facebook account from public computers can now have some peace of mind when logging in. A new feature from Facebook will send you a password on your registered mobile,and then you can use that password to log in. For getting the password, you'll have to text "otp" to 32665 from the mobile registered on Facebook. The benefit of this password is that it will expire after 20 minutes.
So, if you wish to re-login then you'll have to send the text message again.


Another feature that has been enabled is similar to a feature provided by Gmail. It displays details about all the "Active Sessions" that you may have from other computers. This happens if you had selected the "Stay Signed In" box while logging-in.

Facebook is rolling the feature out gradually, and it should be available to everyone in the coming weeks.
