Everything in life is based on decisions. You can decide to have free Wifi for all your neighbors or use a complex password and change it periodically.
The decision will make you have a Wi-Fi network with either fairly slow or extremely fast internet. The more people that enter your network, the longer it will take to download.
Not only that, but you should also keep a good password because of the insecurity of leaving your access free. Try to periodically check your router’s security settings so you are aware of what you can do to keep your Wifi protected.
Remember that the speed of your internet and your personal information will remain safe if you make good decisions.
