Wi-Fi Security 101: Set Up a Guest Network and Secure Your Router

Your home network is the digital front door to your entire life. If it’s not secure, everything you do online is at risk. In Day 4 of my 30-Day Security Challenge, we’re locking down your Wi-Fi, securing your router, and setting up a guest network for visitors and your IoT devices. By the end of this video, you’ll know exactly how to:

- Identify your router and modem
- Change default login credentials for better security
- Turn off remote access, WPS, and open ports
- Set up WPA2/WPA3 encryption and secure your Wi-Fi
- Create a guest network to isolate your smart home devices
- Update firmware to stay secure
