![]() ![]() Since being disconnected from the Internet is the best possible security, I use an RJ-45 coupler in the Ethernet cable between my computer and the cable modem, keeping one or other side of the cable disconnected except when I'm actually using the Internet (downloading mail, etc.) In addition to software security devices when accessing the Internet, I use hardware security as well. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the switchs WAN or uplink ports. This is quite convenient, but the Ethernet connectors invariably break after 100 or so connect/disconnect cycles, and the cable segment has to be replaced. The best solution, if anyone has ever seen or heard of one, would be an on/off switch designed to link two RJ-45 Ethernet cables.Ĭonnect the other end into your Google Nest Wifi router or primary Wifi points LAN port. Not as good would be a little two-port Ethernet "hubby", such as used to be available for a while 10 or 12 years ago, with its own power supply I could then use an ordinary 120V AC on/off switch to control the Internet connection by powering the hubby up and down. ![]() But I can no longer find any of these hubbies.Īny info on either of these devices, or suggestions of better alternative methods, would be much appreciated. ![]()
