Introduction
Homes now host work laptops, school tablets, smart TVs, cameras, and door locks. That convenience also expands your attack surface. A secure wireless network balances convenience with strong protections—so your family enjoys fast Wi-Fi without risking sensitive data.
Core Protections That Matter
- WPA3 encryption: Modern, resilient protection for today’s devices.
- Unique credentials per network: Avoid shared passwords across guest and private networks.
- Guest & IoT segmentation: Keep visitors and smart devices separate from work or banking devices.
- Automatic updates: Patch security flaws in the background, without effort.
- Device visibility: See what’s connected and remove unknown devices with a tap.
Practical Safety Tips
Change default passwords, enable device-level PINs, and use a password manager for accounts. Turn on two-factor authentication wherever available, and avoid installing random browser extensions or apps from unknown sources.
