1. Place your router in a central location
A sensible configuration is the first step towards strong network security. Place your router in the center of your home if possible. Routers broadcast wireless signals in all directions, so strategically positioning your router in the center of your home will assist in keeping your connection to the limits of your home. As an added bonus, it will almost certainly result in the finest connection quality.
2. Create a strong Wi-Fi password and change it often.
