Some Users Complain That Their Traffic Volume Runs Out Quickly. While Several Users Blame The Internet Service Provider For This Problem, Sometimes There May Be Another Reason For This Drop In Volume. One Of These Cases Is The Presence Of A Hacker Who May Be Around You.

Nothing is more unpleasant than paying for a service but not using it properly. When your router is constantly on, hackers will try to infiltrate it in any way possible and use your traffic volume. But with a simple configuration, you can prevent hackers from accessing your router. For this purpose, you need to hide the SSID of your wireless router from hackers.

When wireless devices search an area for wireless networks, they find all the SSIDs associated with different routers. SSID Broadcast is enabled by default on routers, but you can disable it and significantly secure your wireless network. Follow the steps below to disable the SSID.

1. Enter the IP address written on the back of your router in your browser and press Enter. (Usually, 192.168.1.1 works.) If you can’t access the router settings page via the IP address, Google the name behind the hacked router and go to the router manufacturer’s website to learn how to access the router settings. Find. After entering the main page, enter the password and username you have set for your router.

2. Now click on the Wireless tab and select the Disabled option for the SSID Broadcast field. (In some routers, go to the Wireless Settings section and select the Advanced Security option.

In this section, you must select option 5 or 2.4, or both options. Of course, pay attention to the fact that your router has to Do this operation for each number of bands. Finally, select the Disable option at the bottom of the screen and press the Apply option.)

3. If the Configuration View option is set to Wi-Fi Protected Setup mode, select the Manual option and then select the Disabled option for SSID Broadcast.

In some routers, you may see the following message indicating that WPS is disabled. Click the Ok message and finally select the Save Settings button.

By doing this, your router remains hidden from hackers. While this solution does not decisively prevent hackers from infiltrating, it dramatically prevents hackers from abusing your internet.
