At risk of sounding stupid, I need some pointers on how to set up a Wi-Fi router and make it as private and secure as possible.
To sound even more stupid, I don’t really know what PiHole is, or why some people route their traffic through a VPN. I suppose my main questions are these:
- What Wi-Fi router should I get?
- How do I configurate it as somebody who is somewhat privacy-conscious but not very tech-savvy?
I don’t really know how regular Wi-Fi routers work, what the common worries are, how/if data is at risk of being leaked, and so on. So, any pointers would be appreciated! Feel free to direct me to any privacy guides, as well. Cheers!
Do a Site Survey and make a Wi-Fi heat map of your current setup so you can figure out if you need any APs in specific areas.
To me, this is the most important and most overlooked thing you can do to prepare a wireless network.
I’ve personally had good luck with NetSpot but pretty sure you have to pay for the enterprise version to do a heatmap.
