How to Set Up a Secure Wi-Fi Network

Purpose:

This procedure explains the steps needed to set up a secure Wi-Fi network at home or in a small office to ensure reliable internet access and protection from unauthorized users.

Materials Needed:

1. A wireless router

2. A computer, smartphone, or tablet

3. An internet connection

4. Default router login details (usually provided in the router manual or on a label on the router itself)

Steps:

1. Connect the Router

Plug the router into a power outlet and connect it to your modem using an Ethernet cable. Turn on both devices and wait until they are fully operational.

2. Access the Router Settings

Open a web browser on a connected device and type in the router's IP address (commonly 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). Log in using the default username and password.

3. Change the Default Login Details

Navigate to the “Administration” or “Settings” tab and create a new username and password. This helps protect your router from unauthorized access.

4. Set Up a Unique Network Name (SSID)

Go to the wireless settings and set a unique name for your Wi-Fi network, known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier). Avoid using personal information to make it harder for others to identify your network.

5. Enable Network Encryption

Choose the WPA3 or WPA2 encryption option under security settings for the highest level of protection. This will keep your network and data safe from unauthorized access.

6. Create a Strong Wi-Fi Password

Set a strong, complex password for your Wi-Fi network, using a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessed information like your name or birthdate.

7. Save Settings and Restart

After configuring all settings, save them and restart your router to apply the changes.

8. Test the Network

Use a device to search for the Wi-Fi network. Connect using the new password to ensure everything is functioning correctly.

Conclusion:

Following these steps, you can set up a secure Wi-Fi network to ensure a safe and reliable internet connection in your home or office.

This procedure will help protect your network from unauthorized users and give you a more secure browsing experience.

How to Back Up Data on a Computer

Purpose:

This procedure explains how to create a backup of important files and data on a computer to protect against data loss from hardware failure, accidental deletion, or malware.

Materials Needed:

1. A computer with an internet connection

2. An external hard drive, USB drive, or cloud storage account

3. Backup software (optional but recommended)

Steps:

1. Choose a Backup Location

Decide where you want to store your backup. You can use an external hard drive, USB drive, or cloud storage. For maximum protection, consider a combination of both physical (external drive) and online (cloud storage) backups.

2. Organize Your Files

Go through your files and organize them by folders. Identify the important files that need to be backed up, such as documents, photos, videos, and any work-related files.

3. Connect Your Storage Device

If you’re using an external hard drive or USB drive, connect it to your computer. Make sure there is enough free space on the device for all the files you want to back up.

4. Use Backup Software (Optional)

Many operating systems offer built-in backup software, like File History on Windows or Time Machine on macOS. You can also use third-party backup software to automate the process. Open the software, select the files or folders to back up, and choose the backup location.

5. Start the Backup Process

Once everything is set up, start the backup process. Depending on the amount of data, this may take some time. Make sure the computer remains on and connected to the internet if using cloud storage.

6. Verify the Backup

After the backup completes, check to ensure all important files have been saved correctly. Open a few files from the backup to confirm they are accessible and not corrupted.

7. Set a Regular Backup Schedule

To ensure ongoing data security, set a regular schedule for backups. You can choose weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly backups depending on your needs and how often your files change.

Conclusion:

Following these steps will help protect your data from unexpected data loss, ensuring your important files are securely backed up and easily recoverable if needed.

This procedure will help ensure your data remains safe and accessible, even if something happens to your computer.

What is the purpose of this procedure?
