[quote=Anonymous]I recently bought a property in a beach area that I will be renting out on a weekly basis.

The property has wifi through xfinity. I regularly watch Netflix, Hulu and PrimeVideo on the TV there.

Right now, the password we use for accessing the wifi is the one printed on the router label. Can someone help me think through how we should handle wifi access when we have renters? We want our renters to have wifi. But is it a bad idea just to keep the same password (from the router) or should we change and update it with each rental? Why or why not? And if someone has the wifi password, how can we keep them from changing it to something else, thus locking us out of our own system? I assume we should make sure there is some sort of two-step authorization?

And similarly with Netflix and Hulu and Prime Video...I'm happy to let our renters use those BUT I don't want them changing our passwords or purchasing anything. How do we allow them to use our subscriptions while not allowing them to access our accounts?

I don't want to learn a hard lesson where I let someone use my PrimeVideo but find out later that they bought $2000 worth of stuff from Amazon or they have been using my subscriptions from their own homes. I'm sure there are plenty of folks on here who have BTDT and I'm hoping you'll be willing to share. Thanks. [/quote]
