Wi-Fi encryption (WPA2, WPA3)

In Turkish: Wi-Fi şifrelemesi (WPA2, WPA3)

The way your router scrambles Wi-Fi traffic so people nearby cannot read it. WPA2 or WPA3 is the right choice; WEP and open networks are not.

Your router can use different security modes. WPA3 is the newest and WPA2 is widely used and still fine with a strong password. WEP and open (no password) networks offer little or no real protection, so avoid them.

The Wi-Fi password also matters: a short or guessable one lets people join your network, whatever the mode.

What to do

  1. Set your router to WPA3, or WPA2 if WPA3 is not offered.
  2. Use a long Wi-Fi password that is not the name of your street or family.
  3. Change it if you ever shared it with someone you no longer trust.
