Public Wi-Fi

- [Narrator] There are an increasing number of places…that allow for free access to public Wi-Fi.…This may be at a library, coffee shop, restaurant,…or any other place.…When using public Wi-Fi,…there are some additional things to consider.…First of all, when logging on to a public Wi-Fi connection,…you may be prompted on whether it's a home,…work, or public network.…If it's a public network that you're using,…make sure to select this,…so that a set of more restricted settings is used.…Using public Wi-Fi means that you're connected…to a Wi-Fi network that other people…are also connected to.…

In a perfect world, this wouldn't matter.…But this does make you more vulnerable…and gives easier access to others…to be able to hack into your device.…When using public Wi-Fi, I strongly suggest…that you do not share overly sensitive information…such as your Social Security number,…your credit card number, address,…or other extremely personal info.…Doing things like online banking, online shopping, and more…is better done on a secured network.…
