Use strong Keys on your router, if it does not support automatic negotiation between your router and clients for wireless - use high security every which way, and for more users remote management is not needed - turn it off.įinally, check the router every now and again to make sure that you don't need a firmware upgrade, and that all your settings are secure. Use a good *strong* password - don't let it contain parts of your name, DOB, address, tel#, etc. Furthermore, my settings allow me to specify the actual range of IP addresses I am allowed to hand out - so I reserved all my machines, say from 135-143, and then start handing out IPs from 150 to 160 for anyone who comes to visit and / or client machines. If you do a little research you can change your subnet mask from 255.255.255.0 to something else, meaning it can only offer a limited amount of IP addresses before it starts denying applicants. Now, the broadcast is on 192.168.0.254, so that one is out - and 0.1 is being used by the router. If you don't play with your settings much, then your router is going to be able to assign 250+ IPs on the subnet - take, for example, the old default - 192.168.0.1. I myself created a completely whacked third and fourth octet, limiting my router from providing any more than 20 IPs (I only have 4 machines, 2 networked printers, 2 iPaqs and at most 2 visitors at any one time - but I have 6 older machines and do bring work home from clients' machines, so.) and have the router set a reservation list for all the active machines and the iPaqs and the printers so that those IPs never change. ![]() ![]() A lot of cable modems actually use 192.168.100.1, so avoid that one. These days, in order to comply with VPN software, the routers started using 192.168.1.1. Default for older routers was 192.168.0.1.
