Are they secure enough to remain unaffected by different types of cyber threats? In this row, Norton has come across another super smart home security device which is capable enough to secure your Routers, Wi-Fi, and other networking appliances.

However, if you have been using Norton older version and find it difficult to connect with the Norton Core then you can uninstall norton and upgrade the newer version that is compatible with the device.  

Here are some basic tips to secure your home wireless security appliances:

• Encryption of network data- An excellent router will always support the encryption key comprising with 64 or 128 bit that removes all the transferring data so that hackers won’t be able to pinch the critical information. While setting up the network on Core Router you will be asked to set the encryption setting by enabling the WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access II) and the most trusted protocol ‘AES CCMP’.
• Don’t forget to change the default router’s details- You also have to change your default ID and password which has already been set while setting up the new router. Always choose the intricate password that is hard to guess and easy to remember. 
• Make a habit to turn your wi-fi router off while it is not being used: Turn off your Wi-Fi router when you are away for a long time. Because not connecting to any network simply means that your Wi-Fi network cannot be intercepted. By rebooting will allow you to be unaffected and it will also wipe off all the memory of the router.
