Your guest network is a security nightmare, and splitting it in two actually fixes it
The article discusses the security risks associated with using a single guest network for both smart devices and visitors. It suggests that splitting the guest network into two separate networks can enhance security and functionality. This approach allows for better isolation of IoT devices while still providing visitors with necessary access to local services.
- ▪Using a single guest network can expose smart devices to security vulnerabilities from visitors' devices.
- ▪A split network configuration allows for one network dedicated to IoT devices and another for guest access.
- ▪This method improves network hygiene and allows guests to use services like AirPlay without compromising the main network.
