Home Wi-Fi Security: How to Protect Your Family and Connected Devices

Your home Wi-Fi connects more than just your phones and computers. Learn how home Wi-Fi security can help protect your family, smart-home devices and connected devices from online threats.

October is National Cybersecurity Month, making it a good time to think about home Wi-Fi security and how you can help protect your family online.

Today’s homes are filled with connected devices, including smart TVs, speakers, security cameras, doorbells and more. Every device connected to your home Wi-Fi can play a role in your digital security.

So, how can you protect your home network and the devices connected to it?

With Nuvera Home Wi-Fi Premium and the Nuvera IQ app, you can add protection to your home network while gaining more control over your family’s internet experience.

What is home Wi-Fi security?

Home Wi-Fi security helps protect the devices connected to your home network from online threats. Instead of protecting only one computer or phone, network-level protection can help safeguard the many connected devices throughout your home.

Nuvera Home Wi-Fi Premium continuously monitors your network for suspicious activity and blocks threats before they can cause harm. Security updates also happen automatically, helping your protection stay up to date as new online threats emerge.

How does Home Wi-Fi Premium protect connected devices?

Your home Wi-Fi may connect dozens of devices, and not all of them have the same security features.

Home Wi-Fi Premium helps protect every device connected to your home Wi-Fi, including:

• Smart TVs
• Smart speakers
• Security cameras
• Video doorbells
• Other connected smart-home devices

It can also provide an extra layer of protection for devices that may not have built-in security, such as Amazon Echo, Nest, security cameras and Ring doorbells.

That means your home network can become an important part of your overall approach to cybersecurity.

Can home Wi-Fi security block dangerous websites?

Yes. Home Wi-Fi Premium can block harmful websites before they load, helping keep your family and connected devices safer online.

This network-level protection can be especially useful in a busy household where multiple family members and devices are accessing the internet throughout the day.

How can parents make internet use safer for kids?

Online safety isn’t only about blocking threats. Parents may also want more control over how and when children use connected devices.

Home Wi-Fi Premium includes tools that let you:

• Set screen-time limits
• Manage access to specific apps
• Block inappropriate content
• See internet usage across your family’s devices

These controls can help parents create a more manageable and age-appropriate internet experience at home.

Why should you protect your smart home?

Smart-home technology can make everyday life more convenient, but it also means more devices are connected to your home network.

Your smart TV, speaker, camera or doorbell may not have the same built-in security capabilities as a computer or smartphone. Adding protection at the network level can provide another layer of security for these connected devices.

How can you improve your home Wi-Fi security?

A good first step is understanding what’s connected to your network and what protections are available.

With Nuvera Home Wi-Fi Premium, you can get:

• Protection against suspicious network activity
• Alerts when a security threat is detected
• Protection for connected devices
• Automatic security updates
• Dangerous website blocking
• Additional protection for smart-home devices
• Parental controls for managing internet use

Home Wi-Fi Premium is included with 500 Mbps and higher speeds.
