Protect your privacy and online security

VTech recommends the following best practices to help keep your wireless connection private and your devices protected:

• Secure your wireless connection: Ensure your router's wireless signal is encrypted using "WPA2-PSK with AES".
• Change default settings: Change your router's default network name (SSID) and passwords to unique, strong ones (at least 10 characters, complex, mixed case, numbers, and special characters).
• Keep devices updated: Download security patches and enable automatic updates when available.
• Disable UPnP: Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your router to enhance firewall effectiveness.

For more information, refer to resources from the Federal Communications Commission, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Trade Commission, and Wi-Fi Alliance.
