Your router saves the settings for your home Wi-Fi network. If you want to change anything on your network, then you have to log into your router's software that is known as firmware. In this way, you have an option to rename your network, change the password, adjust the security level, generate a guest network, as well as set up or alter a variety of other options. Here we will discuss how can you first get into your router to make these kinds of changes?  The process for logging into your router must be the same as you use your internet provider's router or you bought your router. It must be the same as you use a dedicated router or a combination modem/router supplied by your internet provider as well. Find the Router's IP Address You log into your router's firmware through a browser. Any browser will find it for you. There you will type the IP address of your router at the address bar. However, that's not always the case, that's why first you should confirm the address of your router. Suppose you want to find your router's IP address, type "cmd" in the search window. Click on the Enter button to open the command prompt. Then type ipconfig in the command prompt. Press Enter to run the command. Furthermore, Scroll until you a setting for Default Gateway appear under Ethernet or Wi-Fi. That is your router, and the number next to it is your router's IP address. Now type the IP address of your router in the address field of your browser. Then press Enter hand to hand. Username and Password You will be asked to enter a username and password to access your router's firmware. It could be either the default username and password for your router.  Otherwise, a unique username and password would be generated by you when you set up the router.  If you generated your username and password, start login with these credentials now to see your router's firmware settings. In case, you don't remember your login information, or you never changed these credentials from the unit's default, the process may become a little more complicated.   Password Recovery Features Few routers provide a password-recovery feature. If it is true of your router, this option would have appeared if you enter the wrong username and password several numbers of times. On the other hand, the window will ask for your router's serial number that you can easily find on the bottom or side of the router. Most of the routers use a default username of admin and a default password if you never changed the router's login to start with. You can try these steps to see if they work or not. Else, the best option is to do a web search to get the default username and password of the brand name of your router. There is also an option to search a database for your particular router model's default login personal information. Once you get the correct login credentials, you can try logging into your router now.  In case you still are not able to log into your router's firmware, it's the right time to reset the device to revert all settings to their defaults. Furthermore, you will usually get a mini reset button on your router. Use a pointed object such as a pen or paper clip, for pushing in and hold the reset button for around a few seconds. I this way, you will now be able to log into your router by using the default username and password. Change Router Settings Once you get access to the router's firmware, you are allowed to change whatever elements required to be changed. It includes network name and password, or the security level too. Parental controls can be implemented from the router's main screen, as well as a guest network can be generated.  Furthermore, attached devices can be managed as well. Do remember to apply any changes before you move onto the next screen. Documentation with built-in help must be available to assist you. You will get help with these settings if you are not sure how to set them. The latest or newest routers also have setup wizards that can take care of a few of this labor for you.  Change Router Login The better option is that change your router's username and password from their default values. It will efficiently secure your router so only you can access the firmware. You can change both the username and password with some routers. However, in other routers, you are allowed to change the password only, but the username is somehow stuck as admin. Look for an option while changing the password that is formerly available under the Administration tab. Furthermore, the screen will probably ask for your current router password. When you enter that, it will ask you to enter a new password. Keep remembering the general recommendations to create a secure password.

Our data is the most precious asset for us. We have to keep it safe from cybercriminals. Therefore, we must know about security apps to protect our phone and personal data. Now the question is: Face ID VS Fingerprint; Which is more secure? And which one is to be chosen?  Fingerprints are the security key Rather than most of us rely on two critical elements of our fingerprint data that only we possess and no one else. There are two main options for those who are looking for an app to secure their devices that entirely rely on Face ID. As we know, face ID has its benefits as well as drawbacks, fingerprint also owns many benefits, drawbacks you should know. The Apple iPhone has long had Touch ID. It has a fingerprint sapphire crystal sensor which unlocks the phone only if the pattern matches. This kind of match used not just the whirl of your fingerprint. It also includes the location of your skin's clear pores to ensure that it was you who was trying to access the device. However, Apple removed the home button with the iPhone X, which can open your phone with a fingerprint. Despite it, Apple offered something unique that is Face ID.  The security level of Face ID Apple demanded a sleek front phone and removed the home button that had been the base of the device since its starting. Then it offered an alternative that was more simplistic, but few argue less secure. The owners of the mobile point at camera, face, and unlock their smartphones rather than using a fingerprint. Furthermore, it is designed to be a friction-free process. However, this one is considered less secure. Research has proven that it is possible for strangers who have similar facial features got success in gaining access to your phone. The reason is simple because the technology works on a lower resolution.  Unlike fingerprints, facial features are not at all unique.  Researchers somehow managed to use social media pictures to spoof facial recognition security. It was done even before Face ID was released. This process is more straightforward than creating fake fingerprints. However, face recognition is considered to be better than no protection at all, but it is not relatively more secure than Touch ID. Reliability It is improbable to have as catastrophic consequences as many fears. Most accidental unlockings are likely to happen between family members instead of a criminal managing to obtain access. Therefore, the reality is that facial recognition is less reliable than fingerprints for gaining access to phones and devices.  On the other hand, fingerprints have also proven to be get hacked. The fingerprint is strong enough to protect users from ordinary or opportunistic attackers which is substantially better than nothing. Moreover, if you are after quick and easy access to your phone as well as happy to trade off some security for that, then, in this case, relying on Face ID is a good alternative. However, you have to be just careful while storing vital information on your phone, which anyone could access. Authentic Security System Both Face ID, as well as fingerprint, is secured as declared by Apple. However, for the most part, that is true too. It is sporadic that a random person could unlock your phone. However, that is not the only type of attack to worry about it. While using different biometric authentication methods; Face ID and Touch ID are very similar in functioning.  When you try to log in to your iPhone either by pointing your face at the camera on the front, or you put your finger on the touch sensor, the phone immediately compares the biometric data. It reaches and detects the data that is saved in the Secure Enclave. Furthermore, there is also available a separate processor that's entire purpose is to keep your phone safe and secure. Your iPhone unlocks if the face or fingerprint matches. If not, the message will be prompted to enter your passcode. Nothing Protects You from the Government Agencies Nevertheless, any security app can ever truly protect you from a determined government agency with virtually unlimited resources who want to get access to your phone. Not only can they legally bound you for using Touch ID or Face ID to unlock your phone, but they also have access to tools like the GreyKey. Greeley can crack any iOS device passcode that will make fingerprint and Face ID useless for you. Fingerprint and Face ID are incredibly convenient, and if they are backed up with a strong passcode, then it is secure for daily use by everyone. However, they might not protect you for long if you are the target of a determined hacker or government agency.  Conclusion Both fingerprint and face ID is secure, but the fingerprint is more secure as compare to face ID. Anyone who has the same facial features as you can get access to your phone if you are using FaceID. Fingerprint ID is said to be unique as compare to FaceID.

If you set up a custom domain name, and the changes may not have completed propagating through the system then, first of all, make sure that you have updated the Domain Name Service (DNS). If you have already made the necessary DNS changes, then try logging in later because DNS changes may take up to 72 hours to be reflected throughout the system.       System Clock out of Sync with Server Clock Make sure that your network domain controller is synchronizing with a reliable external time source.
