Hey Dave, I agree with Bruce on his first 2 points, not sure about LoRa.. What I do is turn the bell wifi off, link it to my own router over the wire. It'll take a few years for manufacturers and device makers, but WPA3 has been released. Doesn't help you now, but.. https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2018/07/wpa3.html https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/6/26/17501594/wpa3-wifi-securit... Cheers.

!. yes, allow only designated MAC addresses 2. change SSID & don't broadcast it 2. consider LoRa as a possible adjunct/replacement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa
