Recently, wireless modems have become widespread. While we benefit from the facilities provided by these modems, we must pay attention to the security settings. A wireless modem can broadcast signal to the next building, even to the street and accordingly security gains importance. An unprotected modem may cause a malicious person to infiltrate your computer and steal your PIN. Therefore, we advise you to take following measures and consult the place you have bought your modem for the ones that you do not know about. If you use wireless modem at home or the office;
1. Change username and password of your modem.
While some modems allow to change only admin password, both password and username can be changed in some others. You must primarily change your admin password and username as much as possible. If no password is assigned, you must set a password. It is important that your password is not easily guessed.
2. Change network name (SSID) of your modem
It is recommendable to change the network name of your device, if it is possible. Since the person who wants to use your modem without permission has to know this value in addition to the password, it provides superior security. Disabling SSID broadcast of your modem makes your access to internet much safer.
3. Place your modem properly and turn it off, when you do not use.
If you do not use your modem for a long time, it is advisable to turn it off. Also it is more appropriate to place it close to the center of the house rather than the window.
4. Encrypt the connection.
Many wireless modems can encrypt their connection with computer. Thanks to this encryption the connection of the modem with your computer will be much safer. You must adjust the settings of both your modem and computer. It is recommendable to use your own keyword for encryption.
You can implement the following tips for improved security settings.

Computer Security
What is SSL?
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol is used to protect the confidentiality and integrity of online data traffic between the user and the bank by encryption. SSL protocol is supported by all common web servers and browsers. SSL enables that the data that is sent is deciphered definitely and only by the correct address. Before data is sent, it is automatically encrypted and deciphered only by the correct address. Data is mutually verified, and confidentiality and integrity of the transaction and the information are protected. The power of the encryption method used for data flow depends upon the length of the key. The length of the key is extremely important. 40 bit and 128 bit encryption methods are used in SSL protocol. 128 bit encryption method has 2128 different combinations of the key.
If the browser you use does not support 128-bit encryption, you can use the following links to update your browser for 128-bit encryption.
Internet Explorer 7.0 | Firefox 3.0 |
What is secure data flow and how is it provided?
The definition of security and secure data flow must be firstly known in order to understand if secure data flow is provided or not. The conditions below must be provided for a secure connection:
SSL enables the user who uses a standard web browser to verify the address of the server to which he is connected. In another words the user asks and confirms the identity, before he conveys information / identity to the browser.
On the other hand SSL launches an encrypted session and carries it to a level that others cannot watch it. In this secure connection SSL checks if the data is changed or not, in addition to encryption.
The working method of SSL is based on certificates. When the user connects to a secure site with a web browser, the steps proceed as follows:
The widely known terms, such as 40-bit or 128-bit, can be defined as the length of the security key (PIN). The longer the PIN is the harder to break it. Because nowadays 40-bit PINs can be broken by enhanced systems, SSL systems allowing 128-bit encryption are much more secure.
