WIFI - open network

CHud

Hi,

I managed to set up my modem and connect my devices to my WIFI network. In fact, it was too easy... the network did not ask me for a password, and I see that my network is opened and not private (no padlock symbol next to my wifi). Yet, I did change the name of the network and set up a password when I connected my modem.

Any idea how I can make my network private so that other devices need my password to connect?

• Manage connected devices: see all devices connected to your network. Then, you can block or pause access to each one. 
• Schedules: schedule automatic Wi-Fi shutdowns per device. 
• Speed tests: validate easily the speed of your connection and the speed that goes directly into your device. If it slows down, you’ll even be able to determine the cause.
