WIFI Hotspots

Hotels, Cafe's, Bars and many other businesses are faced with an increasing demand for guests and visitor to connect to the internet. One of the easiest ways to provide internet access is a wireless network, but this is not always as simple as it sounds.

I've seen many businesses providing WIFI to guests with security problems, from simple non-protected networks to guests sharing the same network as the business PCs. This is leaving the businesses wide open to problems, with a little bit of knowledge guests can gain access to all the information stored on the businesses PC's.

There are simple, cost effective ways to protect yourself from problems like this. If you are worried about your WIFI network then a site visit from a local IT consultant should be enough to point you in the right direction.

If your located in Cumbria or Lancashire then Lakes Consultants can have a look at your WIFI network to make sure everything is how it should be. You can get in touch by visiting us here.
