Hi, I know that with the apple AirPort Extreme I can have a guess network. Is
that save enough though? I mean can I get a virus if they get into something
they are not suppose too? I always worry about that. Maybe they are dumb
questions but I guess it don’t hurt to ask since I know there lots of you
that know more than me!! :)
Would I be better off with a VPN or just create a guessnetwork?
