Every wireless network has an SSID and in order for Wi-Fi devices to connect to one another they must be on the same SSID. In a nutshell, an SSID, or Service Set Identity, is the name of your wireless network. To keep your Wi-Fi network safe and secure, there are two things you should be absolutely sure to to when setting up a new router: change your network name and set up a secure password. That means all your neighbors are going to see that your wireless network has the strongest signal they can connect their devices to and if you’ve left your wireless network completely open, that’s the network that their devices will try to connect to by default. Sounds great, right? Not so fast.Ĭhances are, your incredibly strong new Wi-Fi network is now visible in your neighbors’ lists of potential connection options. Perhaps even strong enough to pass right through the walls of your house…and keep on going. When you get a new router, chances are your Wi-Fi signal is strong.
