Protect your privacy and online security
VTech cares about your privacy and peace of mind. That’s why we’ve put
together a list of industryrecommended best practices to help keep your
wireless connection private and your devices protected when online. We
recommend you carefully review and consider complying with the following tips.
Ensure your wireless connection is secure. · Before installing a device,
ensure your router’s wireless signal is encrypted by selecting the “WPA2-
PSK with AES” setting in your router’s wireless security menu. Change default
settings. · Change your wireless router’s default wireless network name (SSID)
to something unique. · Change default passwords to unique, strong passwords. A
strong password:
– Is at least 10 characters long. – Is complex. – Does not contain dictionary
words or personal information. – Contains a mix of uppercase letters,
lowercase letters, special characters and numbers. Keep your devices up to
date. · Download security patches from manufacturers as soon as they become
available. This will ensure you always have the latest security updates. · If
the feature is available, enable automatic updates for future releases.
Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your router. · UPnP enabled on a
router can limit the effectiveness of your firewall by allowing other network
devices to open inbound ports without any intervention or approval from you. A
virus or other malware program could use this function to compromise security
for the entire network.
