Anchoring yourself to free Wifi is very common in the context of the digital age in which the world finds itself, however, in companies, shops, and even at home, the risks involved in keeping a Wifi network free are often unknown.
One of these risks is the slow Wifi, that is, the performance of the connection is minimized in each of the computers that are in the place where the Wifi is installed.
There is also the risk of becoming a victim of cybercrime, which is dedicated to the theft of the personal data of network users and also the rest of the information that is transmitted from the devices that are used, to be used in an illegal manner.

Reasons to keep your internet protected
If you want a secure and protected connection, you must provide a passcode, because sometimes technicians do not usually enter a new one, making the internet free and anyone can access it.
This is detrimental to you, as your information may be at risk and your network may feel extremely slow, as you will be left with a free connection for anyone to access.
We suggest that you provide a trusted passcode so that only you and your loved ones can browse through it, one of the passwords you could choose would be one that has numbers and letters, combinations with upper and lower case, and some weird symbol that you can easily remember, don't write it down on a piece of paper, better memorize it, if you make combinations it might not even be that long because it wouldn't be necessary, another recommendation you can make is to disable the WPS function within your device configuration.
