How to Hide your wifi Signals from others

To hide your WiFi signals from others, you can disable the SSID broadcast on your router. This will make your network invisible to others, although it is still possible for someone to discover your network by scanning the WiFi spectrum or using a network analyzer tool. Here's how to disable the SSID broadcast on your router:

• Open your web browser and enter your router's IP address in the address bar. This may be something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

• Log in to your router's admin panel using your username and password. If you have not changed the default credentials, they should be printed on a label on the bottom of your router or in the user manual.

• Look for the "Wireless Settings" or "WiFi" section in your router's settings.

• Find the option to disable SSID broadcast. The exact wording may vary depending on the router model and firmware version, but it should be something like "Hide SSID" or "Disable Broadcast."

• Check the box or toggle the switch to disable the SSID broadcast.

• Save your changes and exit the router's admin panel.

Once you have disabled the SSID broadcast, your network will no longer appear in the list of available WiFi networks on other devices. To connect to your network, you will need to manually enter the network name (SSID) and password (security key) in the WiFi settings on your devices. Note that this may be inconvenient for guests or visitors who want to connect to your network.
