Home network security, especially wireless networks, is one the most important but often most overlooked aspects of home security. If your home computers are accessible then all your personal information is too. Securing your wireless network is essential because unlike wired networks, wireless signals are broadcast over a distance and readily available to piggybacking and hijackers.
What exactly is a network system? A network system is when a group of computers are linked together either by connections employing the phone line, wireless connections, Ethernet or by USB ports. In the case of home networks most use wireless these days. Your home network security is important to protect all the computers in your home.
The dangers to your wireless home network security can be major or minor. A minor threat is piggybacking. This is the process by which someone can access your unsecured wireless network and use your internet connection for free. The other dangers are much more hazardous to your computer network and personal privacy.
Hackers are the biggest peril to most wireless home network systems because they can break into you computer and have access to all your personal data, as well as, destroy the computers on your network. Some hackers sell the information they obtain to identity theft rings and others use it themselves. A hacker may also release viruses or corrupt and delete vital files form your computers leaving them virtually useless. Therefore you can see why home network security is a must for your family’s computers.

The first way you can prevent threats to your home network security is to make sure your WIFI is secured. Directions for doing so come with your WIFI installation software.
This prevents unauthorized use of your wireless connection.
Your next step is to secure your computers themselves. Always install and keep updated anti-virus software on each computer. Then install firewalls on each to prevent unwanted sites from accessing your computer from the internet. Encryption software will keep others from accessing your files. There is also software available that will repair or secure your home network system for around $30, if maintaining your home network security is not your cup of tea.
