Wi-Fi

In Turkish: Wi-Fi (kablosuz ağ)

The wireless network that connects your phone and computer to the internet through a router, using radio signals instead of a cable.

Anyone within range of a Wi-Fi signal can try to listen to it or connect to it. What protects you is the network's encryption and password, and, on every network, the HTTPS lock on the sites you use.

A Wi-Fi network you control, like your home one, is much safer than one run by strangers. Both are worth setting up properly.

What to do

  1. Use a strong, unique Wi-Fi password at home.
  2. Forget networks you will not use again.
  3. Turn off automatic joining of open networks.
