Setting up your Wi-Fi the wrong way can create a tedious experience for them and even expose your confidential information. So what\u2019s the right way to do it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Never give guests access to your primary Wi-Fi<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While giving guests password to your company\u2019s main Wi-Fi might be the easiest way to get them connected, you should avoid this at all costs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone with a little technical know-how can potentially access everything on your company network, including confidential data. Not to mention, guests\u2019 devices connected to your business network increase the risk of a malware infection or cyber attack since you can never be sure that they\u2019re safe and secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ways to create secondary Wi-Fi for guests<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you router has built-in guest Wi-Fi support (you can check this feature through a quick web search) you could use it to create a separate \u201cvirtual\u201d network. This means guests will have access to the internet without connecting to your main company network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your router doesn\u2019t support multiple Wi-Fi networks, you can implement a separate wireless access point that bypasses the rest of your network and connects directly to your Internet service provider (ISP) connection. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both options will keep your guests\u2019 connectivity separate from your company network so you\u2019ll never have to worry about unauthorized persons accessing your company data. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that guest Wi-Fi still uses your ISP connection so you should limit bandwidth usage on your guest network. The last thing you want is a guest streaming videos that slow down the Internet for your employees. With that in mind, you can even have your employees use guest Wi-Fi for their personal devices too. This minimizes the chance of employees hogging company bandwidth for personal use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your guest Wi-Fi should only provide outsiders with internet access, nothing more. While proper setup isn\u2019t rocket science, it can be a tedious process. Having said that, if you need a team of experts to take care of it all for you, or simply have questions about how else to leverage your hardware for better efficiency and security, just give us a call.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"autoblogfoot\">Published with permission from TechAdvisory.org. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techadvisory.org\/2017\/10\/guest-wi-fi-101\/\">Source.<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No matter who they are, people today expect Wi-Fi access when they\u2019re guests of your office.
