Can I Have The Master Key Please?

Giving a guest your master key would be foolish to say the least. It’s equally important you don’t give your guests (and neighbours) free rein of your Wi-Fi.

There are lots of ways to secure your Wi-Fi – like using login screens or special software to secure the connection. Ask your friendly Wi-Fi company to explain these to you.

Also, one user streaming a video can upset the whole balance of your network. These days, you can control the speed each guest receives – we call this bandwidth management. This gives everyone a good quality service.

Keeping Everyone Happy Online

  1. Give everyone their own unique key to get online
  2. Use Wi-Fi equipment that can keep them all separate – firewall their connections
  3. Don’t leave your network unprotected so everyone and their uncle (Bill) can get online
  4. Choose a system that can offer guests timed access so they won’t leave their computer on all day
  5. Finally, think about installing a content filter to blocks big downloads
