[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1055893, member: 96560"] If you have an older unused PC, you can add an ethernet adapter (making a total of 2) and install pfSense firewall with IPS (intrusion pervention system) . It is open source and you can obtain threat signatures from 2 sources for free (instructions included) . So you place this PC between your modem and your router and it will protect the network.

To stop this, go to Control Panel > Device Manager. Expand Network Adapters. Pull down the View menu and choose Show Hidden Devices. Right click Disable the Microsoft WiFi Direct Virtual Adapter. WiFi Direct is the MS term for WiFi Peer to Peer mode. WiFi will still work with this disabled. Of course you have to do this individually on each PC.
