I want to share my internet connection with my neighbors and guests, but it shouldn’t be a security risk. The best way to combat this is creating an entirely separate virtual network. That way, there’s 2 SSIDs and my own data is encrypted while I’m sharing my internet with others. I’ll also show how to enable Quality Of Service and prioritizing my own data so the public network won’t affect my traffic. You need DD-WRT to set this up. DD-WRT is a firmware package that can be installed on a variety of off-the-shelf routers. I’m using a D-Link DIR-600.
