One of the concerns when having the router in good condition and achieving a good connection, is to avoid intruders. To do this, it is essential to use a good password. If that key is weak, they could figure it out and enter the network. This may mean outages, loss of speed or even making it impossible to connect. Now, how can you know if your router password is really secure? We are going to tell you a very simple trick.
The goal is for you to be able to detect if your Wi-Fi key is reliable or not. If you see that it is not completely safe, it is best to change it as soon as possible. Still, even the most secure of all, you should change it from time to time if you want to maximize security and not have problems with possible intruders.
Check your Wi-Fi password
To know if the Wi-Fi password It's strong, you just have to test it. You can do this test on your own router, in some cases, but also through third-party tools. The idea is that it shows you the level of security that that key has and, if you detect that it is not completely reliable, you can take measures to change it.
The first thing you can do is enter the router itself. For example, in the case of the Movistar Smart WiFi 6 router, you can see if that password is reliable or not. Simply access the device, which is done through 192.168.1.1 and enter the data. As you can see in the image below, it appears that the password is excellent.
If it were a weaker key, it could say that it is of medium or directly low security. Logically, the interesting thing is that it marks the highest possibility. Depending on your router, it may say excellent, high, very high, maximum, etc. You can test until you find a key that is completely reliable.
If your router does not have this function, or you simply want to use an alternative to check security, you can use external pages. For example, you can use Kaspersky's key checker. It is very simple. You will see that it has a bar where you have to enter the Wi-Fi key and wait for it to analyze it.
In this case, as you see in the image above, it shows us that that password is good. If it were bad, an alert would appear and we would have to change it. If you use other different platforms, the results will be similar and the process is similar. You will be able to see the strength of your password easily.
But how to create a strong password? Keep in mind that you need to generate keys that have letters (both uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and other special symbols. Always looking for them to be random and not contain personal data or numbers that can be easily found out. Also, the length of the key is going to be very important.
In short, in this simple way you will be able to know if you are using a secure Wi-Fi password or not. If you see that you do not have a very reliable one, we recommend that you change it as soon as possible. It is something that you should apply to any account or device you use on a daily basis.
