threats to clients outside your network; (3) identify IoT devices and immediately monitor their security performance
once they join the network.

Create profiles for family members and specify the devices that belong to each. Set individualized
parental controls including when and for how long each person can access the internet. Block inappropriate content
and pause the internet if necessary.
QoS:
Prioritize the connection of a particular device for a set duration, such as a family member’s laptop for one hour
during a video call.
