LIBRARY
WILL JOIN US.
THAT'S TOMORROW.
MARK?
>>> WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR HOME
COMPUTER UNDERSTANDING YOUR
WI-FI IS KEY.
IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
HERE TO GIVE US EXPERT TIPS IS
NATE.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW --
>> THANK YOU.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
>> LET'S START WITH THE ROUTER.
THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CRUCIAL
ACCESS POINT AND ALL THIS DATA
IS STREAMING THROUGH IT.
HOW DO WE MAKE SURE IT'S SECURE?
>> THE FIRST PLACE I LIKE TO
START IS ALWAYS THE PASSWORD.
MAKE SURE IT'S SECURE AND THE
PRIMARY LINE OF DEFENSE.
SO WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S LONG,
HARD TO GUESS.
SO I PUT A COMBINATION OF
LETTERS, NUMBERS, SPECIAL
CHARACTERS LIKE ASTERISKS IN
MINE.
THAETSZ GOING TO DRIVE ALL THE
ENCRYPTION.
THE NEXT PLACE IS THE SOFTWARE.
THE PASSWORD IS USED TO DO ALL
OF THE ENCRYPTION.
AND SO MAKING SURE THAT IT'S
STRONG IS GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE A STRONG EXPERIENCE.
ASIDE FROM THAT, YOU ALSO WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SOFTWARE
RUNNING ON YOUR ROUTER IS UP TO
DATE.
LOTS OF TIMES ROUTER
MANUFACTURERS WILL GO AHEAD AND,
YOU KNOW, SHIFT A PRODUCT BEFORE
THE SOFTWARE IS TRULY READY.
IF YOU GO ONLINE AND LOOK, YOU
MIGHT FIND THERE IS AN UPDATE
AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD AND
INSTALL.
>> HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU GO
ONLINE AND CHECK THAT?
>> PERIODICALLY AND A GOOD RULE
OF THUMB IS A FEW TIMES OF YEAR.
-- A YEAR.
NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO CHECK.
SO I ALSO CERTAINLY RECOMMEND
USING AN ISOLATED GUEST NETWORK
SO THAT AS FRIENDS, FAMILY,
PEOPLE COME OVER TO YOUR HOME
THEY'RE ABLE TO GET ON TO THE
NETWORK TO GOOGLE OR WHEREVER.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO INTERFERE
WITH A NETWORK THAT YOU HAVE AT
HOME
HOME.
>> HOW DO YOU SET UP A GUEST
NETWORK?
>> IT REALLY DEPENDS ON THE
ROUTER THAT YOU HAVE.
WE HAVE DEVELOPED A SIMPLE TO
USE WI-FI SYSTEM IN OUR APP, IT
DRIVES OUR PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
>> THAT'S AMAZING.
THE FIRST THING SOMEBODY SAYS IS
WHAT'S YOUR PASSWORD TO GET ON
TO YOUR NETWORK.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
TOO OFTEN IT'S REALLY HARD TO
COMMUNICATE THAT TO THEM AND
ALSO YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE THEM
YOUR PASSWORD.
THAT'S YOUR NETWORK.
>> AND YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT
HOW IMPORTANT YOUR PASSWORD IS.
ALSO A TREND HAPPENING IN THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS, UP TO 50
DEVICES GOING TO BE ON YOUR
WI-FI.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO STAY AHEAD OF
THE TIME AND PROTECT THAT?
>> SO THERE ARE A TON OF
DEVICES.
IT'S, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING FROM
SMART TV TO LIGHT BULBS AND
THERMOSTATS.
SO THE TRADITIONAL MODEL IS ONE
STRONG ACCESS POINT IN A CORNER
OF YOUR HOUSE.
WHICH IS STARTING TO FALL OVER.
BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS TO GO
THROUGH THERE AND IT'S TRYING TO
LIGHT UP YOUR WHOLE HOUSE WITH A
SINGLE STRONG LIGHT BULB.
IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK.
SUMPAL COMMON SENSE -- SIMPLE
COMMON SENSE.
SO YOU REALLY NEED A
DISTRIBUTING SYSTEM WHICH IS
WHAT WE BUILT AT EURO.
>> WHERE CAN WE GO FOR MORE
INFORMATION?
>> THE BEST PLACE TO START IS
OUR WEBSITE, IT'S EURO.COM.
AND I'D ALSO ENCOURAGE THEM TO
FOLLOW US ONLINE AT TWITTER OR
GET EURO.
