Re: Data usage.....
Pip.
I've used this thread because of your phrase above. "There's easier and better ways to secure a network"
I've thought about posting this question for a couple of days because I'm sure you will just suggest "Google is your friend" but your phrase keeps ringing in my poor old tinnitus blighted ears.
My Super Hub has what I believe an unusual SSID name and secure passphrase, disabled SSID broadcast (I know, pointless). My main eight year old PC connected by Ethernet running Linux Mint (xfce) with good login password and software-firewall-ufw (still buzzes along like new). I scan it occasionally with a root-kit-hunter. Another couple of even older boxes I use for backup by connecting with ssh. Super Hub allow only MAC address list for my inexpensive smart-phone and tablet both running Android.
Good computing practice. Never open suspect attachments or click on dodgy looking links.
What might fall into your category of - easier and better - I wonder?
Regards
Oldie
