How to setup a wifi router properly (Hacking Resistance)

Image
I have seen many WiFi location everywhere, most of they are having some kind of password  but now  days if your home router is hacked all your personal information and even data in your hard drive could be accessed even by an unskilled hacker. If you are using WiFi connection, Hacking is very easy because no physical connection is required. So if you get SSL certificate error be careful, always check router first, if your getting an error.. Never skip those errors. I never liked WiFi but in the current time you have to use it..  So I  recently bought a nexus 7 and a portable 3G router.,  so when I am traveling I could just carry it me. One headache was how to configure it and I want everyone not know even I had a WiFi connection.

i always see these arduino projects on the internet and wanted to try the stuff. But unfortunately it is very  expensive in sri-lanka, so planed to  but one from E-bay which will cost around rs3000. Then i recently found a tech podcast which is done by some sri-lankans called techkata.  They were manufacturing arduino clones for around rs1300 with the usb to serial convert. so i bought the kit and did video record  assembling the kit.
