![]() ![]() ![]() I now have all of these on their own SSID, which I should have done originally. I chased those devices down for a week: two Amazon devices, three Apple TV’s, a Roku, one Harmony remote, my wife’s iPad, iPhone and MacBook, Hue bridge lighting, Sonos speakers, Schlage locks, and a Chamberlain garage door control… and I am still not sure if this list is complete. What I had failed to realize was how many different devices were dependent on the parental network connection. A few months ago I had to change the passcode after discovering that my son had somehow figured it out and was using it to bypass some of the controls I had set up. My mistake was that I had gradually set up every new IoT device on the parental network. At home I run Meraki wireless with separate networks for parents, kids and guests. I never realized how many IoT devices were in my own home until a little incident prompted me to change the password for our ‘parental’ wireless network. ![]() But I’m reminded just how dependent I am with each new device that I buy. From online banking to social media, nearly every aspect of our life is in one way, shape, or form, connected to the internet. There’s no getting around today’s interconnected, digital world.
