ENCRYPT YOUR IPHONE

It’s practically impossible to fully encrypt your iPhone, but you can significantly improve your smartphone security by updating to iOS 5 and enabling the Passcode Lock feature in the General section of your Settings menu. With iOS 5, your outgoing iMessages should be encrypted, and most modern Apple devices--including all iPads and all iPhones since the iPhone 3GS--have limited data protection built into the hardware, which encrypts some of your data with a unique key generated from your passcode. You can make sure this encryption is working by verifying that the Data Protection feature in your Passcode Lock menu is enabled.
Not many data encryption apps are available for iOS, but you can download voice encryption apps like Kryptos or Cellcrypt to encrypt your outgoing phone calls. Use text encryption apps like Encrypt SMS ($0.99) to keep your text messages secure, and consider picking up the (somewhat pricey) SecuMail app ($49.99) to allow you to send and receive email encrypted using the OpenPGP standard. Apple also provides built-in tools that allow you to remotely wipe your iPhone and ensure that nobody can steal your personal data if your phone is lost or stolen. To use those tools, first turn on the “Find My iPhone” feature and make sure that remote data wipe is enabled; then log in to MobileMe from your PC and select “Wipe All Data” on the device you've picked.

If you have the Siri voice command feature enabled on your iPhone, be aware that it's possible for pranksters and thieves to send texts and email from your locked iPhone by holding down the Home button and dictating messages to Siri. To secure your smartphone against unauthorized Siri use, simply ensure that the "Siri" option in your iPhone Passcode Lock menu is switched off; this will prevent Siri access on your locked iPhone 4S.

Some of these security measures may seem like overkill, but don't forget that our smartphones usually carry some of our most prized personal data, including credit card numbers and financial records. A strong password and reliable encryption are a one-two combination that will ensure your smartphone and the valuable data it contains are secured against unwanted use or intrusion.

HOW TO FIND ACCESS POINT NAME AND IP ADDRESS OF YOUR NETWORK

FOLLOW THIS STEPS OUTLINE BELOW TO TROUBLESHOOT

• Have you ever go to someone else’s place and had to figure out the IP address of their wireless network so that you could change it’s settings? Most people setup their wireless networks right out of the box without any configuration and therefore have no idea what the IP address is.
  If you’re already connected to the wireless network, then it’s really easy to figure out the IP address of the router. I’ll also explain ways we can get the IP address if you’re not connected to the router.
  
  If you’re connected, go to Start, Run, and type in CMD. Then in the command prompt, type in IPCONFIG /ALL.
  
  Scroll down till you get to the heading that has “Wireless Network Connection” in the name. The IP address of the wireless access point is the IP address that is listed for Default Gateway.
  
  Now you can go ahead and type that address into your browser and you should be bought to the configuration page for the wireless router.
  If you are not connected to the wireless router and want to find out more information about the device, then you have to use other tools to get the job done.
  
  For example, let’s say you go to your school library and connect to the network via a wired Ethernet port, however, you know there is a wireless connection in the library, but SSID broadcast is turned off for security reasons. It’s basically an easy way to prevent people from connection to your wireless router.
  In this type of case, you need a port scanner program to scan the current subnet that you are on to find all devices currently connected to the network, including the wireless router.
  
  First, you should use a tool like NetStumbler to make sure the wireless network actually exists. NetStumbler is a program that can detect wireless networks even if SSID broadcast is turned off. Just down and run it and it’ll give you a list of all the networks in your vicinity. Note that Windows cannot detect networks that have SSID turned off.
  
  As you can see, it has detected several networks in my area. Now that I know the wireless network exists, we can figure out the IP address by using a port scanner. With either program, you’ll get a list of all the hosts on the current IP range, including the MAC address and IP address.
  
  If you still can’t figure it out, then you can get hardcore and use a network sniffer and packet analyzer tool like Wireshark. If there is a computer that is connected to the wireless router, you should be able to pick it up even via the wired network connection.
• First, disconnect the Netgear router from the Linksys Access Point. If the Access Point is using the network 192.168.1.0 and netgear is using the network 192.168.0.0 and if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then they will not be able to communicate each other. Try changing the IP address of the Access Point.
  After doing this also if you can’t find the Access Point IP Address, then use NEWT Professional. It will show you everything. Follow this link to download: NEWTPRO.EXE
• I am using Actiontec wireless modem/router combo. On the home page of Actiontec I could see the connection type, IP name, IP address and MAC address of every computers connected to "My network." Are you sure your Dlink router does not give you similar profile? Have you checked the user manual? Don't have one? No problem - get it from this link: http://support.dlink.com/
• Reset the DLink back to Factory Defaults as per Manual and start afresh
