Asus Router Security

After the setup of our internet routers we often do notthink about how secure they are. Some of us may be guilty of rushing the setupprocess and missing some very important and costly steps. The router producedand sold by ASUSTek is one that I would definitely be aware of. Asus themselveshas acknowledged that there are difficulties that may arise if your router isnot setup correctly. I am going to give you a few of the many reasons to takeyour time and set up your Asus router properly.

Some of their routers come with features called AiCloud andAiDisk, that allow users to attach a hard drive to their routers to enable themto create their own cloud storage. Since the release of these routers acomplaint from the FTC has surfaced. The complaint states that Asus routershad/have major security issues that allow hackers to affect consumersnegatively by obtaining access to confidential information, for example taxdocuments that people have stored on these cloud services.

If you use an Asus router in your home please considerapplying the following recommendations as soon as possible. First off be sureto download the latest security updates for your router. The FTC has noticedthat the Asus router update tool kit will show that your router is currently upto date when often times it really is not. This is one of the main factors thatis putting people's personal information at risk.

Moving forward, Asus is being required to fix this problemand provide accurate update information on software updates. That being said Irecommend that this has taken place with your router. Check your Asus routersoftware update tool and visit the Asus support site for thelatest security updates. Check and be sure that your network storage is set tolimited. Be sure that your that access to your AiCloud and AiDisk is limited towhat your preference is. The FTC also discovered an issue with one of thedefault settings within the AiDisk's setup, which gives anyone on the internetaccess to your personal storage. For maximum privacy chose the option of"limited" or "admin rights" access,instead of the default option "limitless". Make sure that you changethe given preset passwords for the router. The FTC discovered that the givenpreset passwords were considered "weak". Overall be careful of whatyou are doing on the internet as there will always be a risk of hackers.
