Security of a network is paramount, so the first and foremost task is to change the default login and password for the D-Link DWR-932 router to something more personal and secure.

Tips for D-Link DWR-932 Router Passwor

  • Ensure your D-Link password is complex and hard to guess so that only you can remember it
  • You should make it something personal, like &ilostmyvirginity@30, so that you'll never forget it. Always.
  • Protect it
  • Your D-Link DWR-932 router's level of security will depend on the complexity of your password and the effort you put into protecting it.
  • Usability first
  • Give Password for your D-Link DWR-932 router that you can remember (usability first). It is possible to create a strong hash password using special characters, numbers, Greek, and Latin.

3.Change D-Link DWR-932 Default WiFi name (SSID) and WiFi Password and enable Network Encryption

It may be useful (as it does not affect security) to change the D-Link DWR-932 Default WiFi name (SSID), as it will make it more obvious for others which network they are connecting to.

Your D-Link DWR-932 Router's WiFi name is the Network Name (SSID). The SSID name should not contain any personal information (since this isn't a Facebook status!). Here are some funny WiFi names: I'm cheating on my WiFi!, FBI Surveillance Van #594 (frightens away stupid criminals), Lord of the Pings...

Once you have entered the name for your network, you need to enable WPA2-PSK encryption on your D-Link DWR-932 router. WPA2-PSK is the strongest encryption standard available for home networks.

To connect to your home WiFi, you will need to enter a new WPA Pre-Shared Key / WiFi Password. Please don't use the same password as that of your D-Link DWR-932 router! Keep it to 16-20 characters!

4.Update router firmware in D-Link DWR-932 and turn on Automatic Updates

Since router software often contains critical bugs and security vulnerabilities, you should always keep your D-Link DWR-932 router up-to-date by activating Automatic Firmware Updates. Log in to your D-Link DWR-932 router and find the section that contains Automatic updates, and turn it on.

You should also check every now and then to make sure your router is working, and the router firmware is up-to-date, even if it has automatic updates

5.Security is a continuous process

Make sure you change the passwords frequently, or at least every six months! Don't let ignorance, negligence, or laziness compromise the safety you have worked so hard for on your D-Link DWR-932! Post a notice on the fridge! Do you need to be reminded? Enter your email address below! Nope, we are not spammers!
