My kids school issued everyone a Chromebook. They want the kids to have access to wifi at home. I am concerned about the security risk of giving a school issued chromebook, which tracks everything, access to my home network.
Is there any way the school district could use its own spyware to access other computers on my network or access other network traffic? I am a novice on networking and I don't even know what I don't know. Do I need to worry?
I use a very secure encryption password and MAC filtering on my Netgear N600 to keep others off my wifi. But the school wants me to just hand it over via the chromebooks preinstalled spyware/keylogger.
I could let him use the local Xfinity hotspot; if I want to offer up my Comcast login credentials. Nope, same issue.
Whats the story here?
