They're all secured. Probably WPA. If you want to secure yours beyond just a password, go into the router and enable the MAC address filtering, there is a whitelist, you will have to manually input all the MAC addresses of your devices, phones, TVs, laptops, etc, but if a device isn't on that list, it won't connect so that's an extra layer of security.

That's a long used joke. I've even seen it in my small town of 300.

I just use my home address.
It really doesn't matter what the SSID is. Just make sure you have a decent password.
I just use my 10 digit house phone number. If someone is gonna hack your wifi then it won't really matter what security settings you have on it because it can all be hacked.

You can also set it to not broadcast your SSID.

Every house in my neighborhood has WIFI. And all are secured with encryption. Mine is also!!!!!

"Nothing to see here.....move along!"

Never understood why so many people use their ACTUAL NAMES on their WIF! systems!!!!!!!

I on purpose misspelled mine, brighter people will get it. The others not so much.

I was at my sisters house in Illinois several years back. Their neighbors had secured wireless. Wow... I hacked their router in a few minutes and asked her if I should change passwords for them. I didn't because I am good but it was funny.

I actually use that, had a neighbor at our last house put up "cia_surveillance_van". I do IT for a living, I got on my router and added a guest network "nsa_surveillance_van", the CIA decided it was outnumbered and left
