"Guest" network

We are placing my father in an assisted living facility and the only Wifi they offer is a shared password-protected "guest" wireless account. What do I need to do to protect my father's online security? Thank you for all the assistance in advance.

  • Here are some steps you can take to protect him:

    • Strong password: Ensure the "guest" network password is strong and unique, not easily guessable or shared publicly.
    • Antivirus and malware protection: Make sure your father's devices have strong antivirus and anti-malware software like Bitdefender installed and kept up to date.
    • Firewall enabled: Enable the firewall on all his devices.
    • Automatic updates: Enable automatic updates for operating systems, apps, and browsers to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
