Q. How does a guest WiFi network work?

A guest Wi-Fi network is essentially a separate access point on your router. All of your home devices are connected to one point and joined as a network, and the guest network is a different point that provides access to the Internet, but not to your home network. As the name suggests, it’s for guests to connect to.

Q. Does having a guest network slow down WiFi?

Yes, a guest network can slow down your Wi-Fi, but it is not common if you are offering enough bandwidth. However, if you notice that you are struggling with slow Wi-Fi due to a guest network, then there are solutions such as increasing bandwidth, setting limits, upgrading your network, or limiting QoS.

Q. How do I identify an unknown device on my network?

How to identify unknown devices connected to your network

  1. Tap the Settings app.
  2. Tap About Phone or About Device.
  3. Tap Status or Hardware Information.
  4. Scroll down to see your Wi-Fi MAC address.

Q. Should I let my Neighbour use my WiFi?

yes it would be a bad idea. Your neighbour might use your wifi for something illegal or simply not allowed by your ISP. This could happen accidentally or deliberately. Your neighbour might allow someone else to use his equipment who might do something illegal without his knowing.

It might not be legal to share your wi-fi connection with a neighbor. Most wi-fi companies prohibit the shared usage of wi-fi for unsubscribed and non-paying users. If this is the case, you could be in violation of contract laws if you share your wi-fi with a neighbor who is not authorized to use the services.

Q. What can a hacker do with your WiFi password?

With default admin passwords like “admin” or “password” left sitting on a router, hackers can upload malicious firmware updates to spy on users or run stolen credit cards through the connection by using the router as their own personal VPN.

Q. Can I share my internet with someone far away?

If you go to Connections, Mobile Hotspot and Tethering, then Mobile Hotspot from Settings, you’ll see a Wi-Fi sharing toggle switch—this will share the current wifi network under a new name for your other devices to connect to, rather than relying on a mobile data connection.

Q. How can I share my internet with my neighbor?

The easiest way to share your Wi-Fi securely is to simply give your neighbors your password. This isn’t the most technically secure approach, but if you know and trust your neighbors, go ahead and slip the password under the door of that neighbor who you know doesn’t have an internet connection.

Q. How close do you have to be to use someone’s WiFi?

A general rule of thumb in home networking says that Wi-Fi routers operating on the traditional 2.4 GHz band reach up to 150 feet (46 m) indoors and 300 feet (92 m) outdoors. Older 802.11a routers that ran on 5 GHz bands reached approximately one-third of these distances.

Q. Does WiFi go through floors?

As a rule of thumb, a 2.4 GHz WiFi signal reaches through 3 or 4 walls and floors. The 5 gigahertz signal (Wi-Fi a or AC) accommodates more devices at higher speeds, but reliably passes through only 1 or 2 walls and floors. Naturally, distance, placement and interference are also important factors.
