How to protect your wireless home network from Reaver
Reaver attacks WPA and WPA2 protected networks by exploiting vulnerabilities in their WPS or Wi-Fi Protected Setup. With that in mind, you can use the following tips to protect your home network from Reaver.
1. Turn off your WPS. If the feature is present in your router, disabling it can help keep your network safe. Sad to say, this method doesn’t guarantee full protection. LinkSys and Cisco Valet routers remain vulnerable to Reaver attacks even if you disable their WPS. Use Reaver to check if your network is vulnerable even with WPS disabled. If turning it off does the job, then you don’t have to worry.
2. Opt for a router that doesn’t have WPS. If your network still keeps getting cracked by Reaver even with the WPS disabled, then get a router that doesn’t have this feature built-in.
3. Do your research. Perform an online check and find out what internet providers are servicing your area and what kind of routers they are supplying. If their routers have WPS, ask if you can switch to one that doesn’t have WPS for better security.
