the most unbelievable part of this is the guy didn’t already have a guest vlan throttled to 56k
This raises an interesting issue: Should house guests expect to be given Wi-Fi access? I’ve personally never even asked for Wi-Fi when I go over to someone else’s house because frankly I don’t trust their network. I don’t know what “smart devices” are port scanning every other device or collecting MAC addresses, I don’t know if they’ve ever updated their router firmware and if it’s been infected by the numerous malware automatically scanning the internet for unpatched routers. Not worth it, I’d rather use mobile data or not access the internet until I go home. Also I don’t want Google or Cloudflare to know who my friends are and where they live by having my browser fingerprint show up on their IP.
Guest Wi-Fi is common for that reason. I’ve got guest Wi-Fi set up so that guests can access the internet but they can’t access my LAN.
My guests get WiFi access to the internet when they ask. What they don’t get is WiFi access to our home systems network. When they don’t ask, I assume they’re just fine paying for their own cellular data.
I think most people would expect it, but only if you offer. Depends how expensive mobile data is where you live and if they can afford it…
If someone offered it to you it’d probably be polite to just say no thanks and not bother to explain why their network probably isn’t secure 😅
She should just have made a hotspot if it was that important…

So your sister actively consents to her son being on a platform riddled with pedophiles and expects you to be complicit as well.
You where nice, I would have told her she was a terrible parent, why, and then ask her to leave. I’ve become no-contact with toxic family over issues before, and I’ll do it again.
My dad picks up hobbies like other people pick up interesting stones at the beach. He got into home networking a few months ago and has since spun up an onion architecture of networks from least to most trusted. All IOT devices get segregated on their own individual networks and the secure core network has adblocking and tracking-blocking firewalls. He has like 3 guest wifi networks. All addressing is resolved with IPv6.
His home, by the way, has one home computer, three phones, and two smart speakers. Twenty year old dumb TV. No smart appliances.
My guest wifi network is automatically segregating (as default from Netgear). So, if three guests are on it, none can “see” the others, only the internet.
“Zero Trust Architecture doesn’t care about bloodlines” might be my favorite data security quote

Sister should have known better. Autism doesn’t care about your holiday schedule
Yeah, that’s the unrealistic part. The sister would’ve known how he is and asker her kid not to bother uncle.
Or just set up a Freifunk router and be done.
