Why kick unwanted people off your Wi-Fi?

The truth is that if a stranger connects to your Wi-Fi, a number of problems can occur. Perhaps the least of these is a decrease in the efficiency of the network: this can happen if the stranger uses the internet to perform many demanding tasks, such as playing heavy online games; as a result, the network as a whole can become very slow.

In addition to this inconvenience, there are a number of security complications that an intruder can cause. In the case of a hacker, the criminal can steal personal information and sensitive data, use your IP address for illegal activities, install malware and spyware, interfere with your internet signal, access your devices… The list is quite long.
