Worse, your iPhone is constantly searching for familiar Wi-Fi networks, “sending out probes for hotspots it is looking to connect to,” Wright says, “so can stand-up hotspots with those SSIDs-a capability built into Wi-Fi Pineapples,” malicious routers designed to intercept traffic. And your phone will happily connect when in range, if you have connected to the legitimate network with that SSID before. Also, since they are public and open, it makes spoofing them all too easy.” What he means is that an attacker can set up their own Wi-Fi hotspot with that same SSID-it’s as easy as that.
All routers are different, so check the links below for specific instructions.“I’d avoid auto-joining any public network,” Wright says. For example, if you have WPA2 encryption on your network, the key will most likely be nested within there. In your router, your security key will be located within the wireless security settings. If you’re not currently connected, you’ll have to find the security key on your router. You can use this same key to connect other devices to your network.
Right-click on your wireless network and select Properties.On the left hand menu, click “Manage Wireless Networks”, then locate your wireless network on the new menu.Under “Network and Internet” click “View network status and tasks”.The Network security key box will display your key.Check the box that says “Show characters”, if it is not already checked.Select Wireless Properties in the Wifi-Status Menu.Select your wifi name next to the connections section.Then Select Network and Internet > Status > Network and Sharing Center.You can view the security key from the settings on computers already connected to WiFi: Windows 10
