Summary
- A great way to secure your home network is to segment traffic by setting up a separate network for guests to connect to.
- This will prevent visitors from accessing your devices and ensure they get sufficient bandwidth.
- Setting up a separate network for IoT devices such as cameras and lights will protect your gadgets if a hacker gains access to the network.
- IoT devices tend to use the 2.4 GHz band, so having them on a separate network will not impact the performance of your primary devices.
- An added tip is to turn off the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on your primary network, as this can make your network vulnerable.
- Having completed these tasks, you can configure a whitelist of allowed devices on your primary router.
- This will block any unknown incoming connections that could potentially jeopardise your network security.
