Episode summary

A guest network is a second wifi network you can set up at home.

It lets visitors use your internet without touching your main network.

That means your personal devices are protected from any malware their devices might be carrying.

If you often have people over, it’s a smart extra layer of protection.

A guest network can also protect your devices against threats from your own devices if they get infected.
