Why You Should Put IoT Devices on a Guest Wi-Fi Network

  • Why You Should Put IoT Devices on a Guest Wi-Fi Network
Home Security

A typical home now has 10.37 devices connected to the internet.

PCs and mobile devices make up a little over half of those and the rest are IoT devices.

During the first six months of 2021, the number of IoT cyberattacks was up by 135%.

Hackers use IoT devices to get to computers & smartphones

You can reduce your risk of a work computer being breached by putting IoT devices on a different Wi-Fi.
To do this, you would set up a “guest” Wi-Fi on your home router.
Put all IoT devices on that guest network, and keep computers and smartphones on the existing Wi-Fi network.

Need Help Upgrading Your Home Cybersecurity?

With so many remote workers, hackers have begun targeting home networks. Schedule a home internet security review today!
