Tips to secure Wi-Fi network

It is important that your personal Wi-Fi connection is secured by taking the right measures. We have below stated these wireless security tips for you to secure and keep your devices protected from cyber-attacks or being misused. 

•  Change the admin password of your Wi-Fi router— When you login to your router for the first time change the default password to your own. This now makes your router in true sense ‘personal’. For the default password, refer to the router manufacturer’s guide. Never share your admin password with anyone.

•  Never admin wirelessly — Never administrate your router via a wireless signal with a web GUI, always do so wired. It’s advisable to disable wireless administration in the routers configuration.

• ·Use HTTPS — If possible, force connections to your router’s Web-based GUI to use HTTPS, which encrypts data transmitted.

• Change default SSID- Change the default SSID when configuring wireless security on your network. Wi-Fi routers use a network name called the SSID. Manufacturers normally ship their routers with the same SSID set. For instance the SSID for Linksys devices is ‘Linksys’. True, knowing the SSID does not by itself allow your neighbors to break into your network, but it’s a start point. More importantly, when someone finds a default SSID, they see it as a poorly configured network and are likely to attack.

• Disable SSID broadcast - The Wi-Fi router typically broadcasts the network name (SSID) over the air at regular intervals. Wi-Fi clients like mobile, PC connect to this SSID to access the internet and local network resources. If you leave broadcast SSID settings open, it is likely that someone will try to log in to your home network.

• Enable Firewalls on the router- Most Wi-Fi routers contain built-in firewall capability with an option to disable them. Ensure that your router’s firewall is turned ‘on’. For extra protection, consider installing and running personal firewall software on each computer connected to the router.

• Turn on your Wireless encryption (WEP/WPA/WPA2): All Wi-Fi equipment supports some form of encryption. Encryption technology scrambles messages sent over wireless networks so that they cannot be easily read by humans. Several encryption technologies exist for Wi-Fi today. Naturally you will want to pick the strongest form of encryption that works with your wireless network.

WEP and WPA are easy to hack and there are various tools available on the net. The preferred encryption currently is WPA2 along with an Advanced Encryption Standard making it the most secure option for your wireless network. Remember a complex passkey is always difficult for the hacker to get access to your Wi-Fi network. Do not use passkeys which are easily identifiable like your name or phone number. Never share your passkey.

The Worst Social Media Marketing Advice You Will Ever Hear

If you’ve ever been to an amusement park, you’d know about that one ride almost everyone is hankering to try out. It’s hugely popular and can be immediately identified by the long line of people waiting in anticipation to get on it. Those who’ve had their turn will either love it or think it was okay, but not worth the hype it’s been generating. Very few will really hate it. They will generally put it down as a worthwhile experience, one that was educative, even if it didn’t pan out the way they’d imagined it.

Social media marketing enjoys similar attention these days. It’s impossible to talk about SEO or the online industry (or for that matter anything else) without this topic making a sneaky appearance. You may love it, you may hate it, but there’s no ignoring it. Sites like Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest have become the byword in the marketing industry and few other things have excited online businessmen like the social media phenomena.

True to human nature, those who’ve tried social media marketing are always willing to part with valuable advice on what to do and what not to do. How much of what they say is based on sound logic is questionable, but when people gather these ‘pearls of wisdom’ and string together a social media marketing strategy that isn’t very productive, we have trouble on our hands.

In this article, I make the attempt to go over a few common practices that may appear harmless but have the potential of sabotaging your social media campaign in the long run. Sounds scary, doesn’t it? If you don’t want that happening to you, stay hooked all the way to the end of the article. It promises to be educational.

Personality Development

Personality development or personal development is the enhancement of some definite life skills which are essential to make the growth of happiness and success possible in one’s life. These life skills are like the pillars on which our whole career is set up and hence the success and the failure of our ventures in life depends on the choice of those skills. If we start building our life on the basis of some incorrect skills then fall is unavoidable. You may get success but it can never be long lasting. So for long lasting development in life in terms of happiness and success we need to develop ourselves first. Personality development not just adds to your overall look and dressing up skills but how you communicate with others that is as important as your visual appeal.

Everyone have something great in them. Someone plays piano good, someone is a great cook or someone is brilliant in organizing and managing teams. These are our skills but they are used for certain period of a day. However, the life skills we are talking about are used 24×7 in our life to make it better for ourselves and for others as well. Hence the question what is personality development can be answered in several manners since there are several ways to explain it.

Why Do We Need Personality Development?

This is not something additional in our life, which can be ignored. It is the basic need to obtain success and happiness in life; be it personal or professional. You may be a great team manager or have higher educational qualification or may know all the latest techniques of your field, but none of these can help you to achieve your desired goal unless you know how to be a sensible person in life. First of all, you need to develop your skills as a person, and then you can use any of your other professional talent to impress people.

Some Basic Tips for Personality Development:

1. Be yourself. Never try to copy anyone else. Be positive and confident about your own personality.
2. Learn to communicate well, improve your English speaking skills.
3. Understand the difference between confidence and arrogance. To show your confidence you don’t need to be rude to anyone.

6. Be the owner of a clean mind, body and attitude. The owner of a charming personality with a clean mind can win worse situations.
