It’s possible friends, neighbors, or family members have shared the WiFi credentials with others and people you don’t know could have access to your network and your shared files. But that still doesn’t mean other people aren’t using your network without your knowledge. Setting up your own WiFi network with adequate protection like WPA2 and a strong password is vital.
A wireless network setup also presents its own set of problems when it comes to your own home network and the devices attached to it. Laptops, tablets, smartphones, digital cameras, printers, gaming consoles, smart home devices, and many other things can connect to each other or the internet through a WiFi connection. WiFi technology is everywhere these days and it seems almost every electronic device around has a wireless network connection of some sort.
