VTechcaresaboutyourprivacyandpeaceof
mind.That’swhywe’veputtogetheralistof
industry-recommendedbestpracticestohelp
keepyourwirelessconnectionprivateandyour
devicesprotectedwhenonline.Werecommend
youcarefullyreviewandconsidercomplyingwith
thefollowingtips.
Ensureyourwirelessconnectionissecure.
• Beforeinstallingadevice,ensureyourrouter’s
wirelesssignalisencryptedbyselectingthe
“WPA2-PSKwithAES”settinginyourrouter’s
wirelesssecuritymenu.
Changedefaultsettings.
• Changeyourwirelessrouter’sdefaultwireless
networkname(SSID)tosomethingunique.
• Changedefaultpasswordstounique,strong
passwords.Astrongpassword:
- Isatleast10characterslong.
- Iscomplex.
- Doesnotcontaindictionarywordsor
personalinformation.
- Containsamixofuppercaseletters,
lowercaseletters,specialcharactersand
numbers.
Keepyourdevicesuptodate.
• Downloadsecuritypatchesfrom
manufacturersassoonastheybecome
available.Thiswillensureyoualwayshave
thelatestsecurityupdates.
• Ifthefeatureisavailable,enableautomatic
updatesforfuturereleases.
DisableUniversalPlugandPlay(UPnP)onyour
router.
• UPnPenabledonaroutercanlimitthe
effectivenessofyourfirewallbyallowingother
networkdevicestoopeninboundportswithout
anyinterventionorapprovalfromyou.Avirus
orothermalwareprogramcouldusethis
functiontocompromisesecurityfortheentire
network.
