If a hacker breaches it, they can hack your connected devices, steal your files, or even spy on your online activities.

So you should always be on guard and take immediate action if you notice something suspicious taking place in your network.

Slow speed can occur during peak times or some other bandwidth disruptions. However, if you experience it all the time and together with the further mentioned symptoms, it’s a serious red flag.

Your speed can be slow because an intruder can use your network for distributing malware, remote connections to other devices, piggybacking, or other malicious activities.

Attackers can try to connect their devices to your network. You can easily check it by logging in to your router’s IP address in your web browser and looking up the list of connected devices.

Usually, a device that tries to remotely access your network won’t have an address that matches the first three numbers of your router’s private address.

Also, be aware that unrecognized software on your devices is also a sign of an intrusion.

Cybercriminals usually change credentials after penetrating your network to stop you from tweaking your settings and protecting yourself.

So if you can’t log in to your router anymore, you can almost be sure that something’s wrong. Once inside your router, hackers can adjust its settings however they want and cause you much trouble.

But first of all, don’t panic if you notice any of these signs. Instead, take the following steps.

First, reset your router. If you have strong suspicions of the hackings, we recommend doing a factory reset. It can reset malicious changes and remove certain kinds of malware.

You should also change your router and Wi-Fi passwords immediately. Just make sure to use the strong one.

Also, immediately uninstall all the strange software you find on your devices.

If you notice unrecognized devices, kick them out of your network immediately. Also, disable remote administration on your router to cut off the access for hackers.

Finally, run a malware scan to check if there’s some malicious stuff left on your devices.

Prevention is another crucially important aspect of protection. We strongly advise you to constantly update your software, use strong passwords, avoid clicking suspicious links and use a VPN to minimize the Wi-FI hacking threat.
