Re: FAQ on Virgin Media's WiFi Sharing

My only worry so far is security. As you have two connection on the same router they have to make sure that it will be impossible for one user to access the other connection.

As it is the same hardware, if there is a security issue discovered with the firmware a hacker could gain access to your own connections and snoop around.

Because of this I will opt out for now until everything is stable.

In an ideal world, Virgin should give us a new router that is actually two separate hardware so even if it is exploitable, as they are not physically connected it does not matter if the public hardware is compromised.
