What's a Guest Wi-Fi Network?
Hackers aren't the only threats to your network. House guests can be as well. How? Say you have two laptops, four smart phones, and a tablet in your home, connected to your Wi-Fi network. If you allow visitors on to your primary network, they have instant access to every one of those devices. While it's unlikely your visitors will sabatoge your network, what if the device they are using to connect to your network is infected with some sort of malware, and this malware is spread to other devices connected to your network?
Fortunately, there's a simple way to keep this from happening: a guest Wi-Fi network. A guest network gives others in your home access to the internet and nothing more. They can't see devices on your network, access them, or introduce malware that compromises your data or devices. Plus, when you have Managed Home Wi-Fi from Lynxx Networks you can download the free Lynxx Command IQ App and set up your own guest network and password from the palm of your hand.
