I'm gonna give you three reasons why you
need to enable the guest Network on your
home router what's up guys I'm Mike and
this is the ultimate Tech Hub it's that
time of year again and you invited
friends and family over for a holiday
gathering and as people show up to your
home the first thing they ask is where's
the beer and what's your Wi-Fi password
and like a great host you toss them a
beer and give them that valuable
password to your entire home network
what the what wrong don't do it
never share your home network password
even with trusted family members or
close friends sharing your beer is good
but sharing your Wi-Fi network password
is bad so the only solution to keep your
holiday guests happy is to give them the
Wi-Fi password to your guest Network and
a cold beer so here are the three
reasons why you need to enable the guest
Wi-Fi on your network first you can
easily change the guest Wi-Fi password
and enable it or disable it whenever you
want the greatest advantage of a guest
network is that you can give your guests
a password and then change it as often
as you want while leaving your main SSID
password alone so your holiday guests
will get a new password when they visit
and you can leave your main Network
alone and when all of your holiday
guests leave you simply disable the
guest Network until they come back over
secondly guest networks isolate your
guests from your primary Network and
this is great for your home network
security I'm not saying your friends or
family or Elite hackers looking for
sensitive data or personal information
however security threats can come in the
form of a malware affected laptop that
can infect your entire network there is
no reason for your guests to be on the
same network as your file server media
server security cameras or smart home
devices and third guest networks protect
you from liability if your router
supports fine-tuning your guest Network
then you can apply parental controls and
website restrictions but what kind of
liability are we talking about the kind
of thing that can get you a legal notice
from your ISP from downloading movies
it's illegal don't do it and your guests
definitely shouldn't do it by disabling
peer-to-peer file sharing you can
protect yourself from getting a nasty
email from your ISP about downloading
torrents guest networks are fantastic
tools to keep your home network safe
while keeping your friends and family
happy and guys don't forget like share
and subscribe it's what the cool kids
are doing
peace
