[QUOTE="bazang, post: 1117350, member: 114717"] So you are connecting to a "Guest" network or the landlord is giving everyone the network connection credentials? I am going to guess that your landlord is a family member - probably your parents or a sibling. Either that or it room rental. If it is the second case then the network connection credentials have been on the dark web for a long time. The network is fully compromised and nothing you add (e.g. router) will make much of a difference because downstream from a router that you add is a fully compromised network. Adding your own router will not do a thing to improve the security. The only way to achieve better security is to not connect to the network. With the network security as it is, the attackers do not need to be sophisticated. Antivirus is not going to prevent the attacks. Use your mobile phone cellular as a hot spot and stop connecting to the landlord network. Better yet, move somewhere else where you have your own network. [/QUOTE]
