HOME NETWORK

pgs1000

I am being constantly annoyed by pop-ups that ask if I want to set "Home network" and "Office Network". I click 'yes' and the [pop-up disappaears only to reappear. At times it is "Office Network" that appears; I click yes and it asks me for "Home Network". I now click 'yes' rapidly and the pop-ups stop. And then, when I come back, it all starts again!

What have I done wrong, please?

Hello @pgs1000,

These pop-ups must be frustrating indeed, sorry to hear that. Try to turn off the WI-FI Security Advisor notifications and see if this helps:

1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.

2. In the Vulnerability panel, click Open.

3. Go to the Settings window and turn off the Wi-Fi Security Advisor switch.

You can then configure your home network as well, by following these steps:

1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.

2. In the Vulnerability pane, click Open.

3. Go to the Wi-Fi Security Advisor tab and click Home Wi-Fi.

4. In the Home Wi-Fi tab, click SELECT HOME WI-FI. A list of the wireless networks you connected to until now is displayed.

5. Point to your home network, and then click SELECT. If a home network is considered unsecured or unsafe, configuration

recommendations to improve its security are displayed.

To remove the wireless network you have set as a home network, click the REMOVE button. 

To add a new wireless network as home, click Select new Home Wi-Fi network.

You can also configure your office network, if necessary.

Let us know how it went.

I also have this issue. My question is what does setting a home or office network actually do.

Home Network: Generally the most secure. Bitdefender may adjust security settings to be less strict due to the assumption of a secure and private connection.

Office Network: Typically secure. Bitdefender may implement additional security measures, such as more stringent firewall rules, to enhance privacy and protection.

Public Network: Generally the least secure. Bitdefender is likely to enforce the highest level of security measures, such as blocking file sharing and recommending VPN usage, due to the inherent risks of public networks.

Specific details on Bitdefender's actions for each network type are not publicly available.
