If your router is sat in front of a window, you might want to think about moving it as you could be putting your home network at risk from hackers and fraudsters
While most Irish Internet Service Providers advise keeping routers off the ground and as high up as possible, there are some serious warnings to heed before you consider placing that blinking black box on your window ledge.
This fresh warning has been issued by Pcinternational's tech expert Jonathan Perumal who cautions, "All someone needs to do to exploit this is walk by your house. If they see your router on the windowsill and spot the details on display, they can easily connect to your Wi-Fi. It's a simple task to check what devices are connected to your Wi-Fi with most ISPs offering the ability to display the full network via their smartphone apps. "If you are worried about the security of your system, the Wi-Fi apps should also let you change the password on your router although you will have to reconnect all of your devices after this is down so beware.
