Protecting your loved ones with internet security services
Over the past few years, many of us have become reliant on digital platforms through online shopping, sharing personal information on social media, entering financial data, plus much more. According to the Forbes article, Cybersecurity Stats: Facts And Figures You Should Know, there were over 343 million people affected by cyberattacks in 2023 alone with the most common avenue being email.
With the continued rise in online threats, it’s imperative your family has a service to protect loved ones from online threats to keep them safe. In the Forbes article, phishing is one of the most common types of cybersecurity attacks. This includes the use of erroneous emails and websites, text messages and other forms of communication in an effort to deceive individuals.
Here at Viasat, we take this issue seriously and offer our customers Viasat Shield; an internet security service that helps to defend your home network against common online security threats. It’s simple and easy to set up through the Viasat Shield app at no cost to our customers. For those looking for extra security, we offer our Shield Premium service for a nominal monthly cost.

Tips to Maximize your Internet Experience
Extending the Range of Your WiFi Network
Having good placement of your modem and router inside your home can give you optimal range for your WiFi network. For many Viasat modems, the router is built in, but you may also have a standalone router. Here are a few tips to help your router work at peak capacity.
-
Place your router near the center of your home
-
Be mindful that fireplaces, denser walls (brick, concrete, tiles), and metal can impact the signal
-
Make sure it has proper ventilation – give it at least 3 inches of space on all sides
-
Ensure your software is up to date
-
Avoid heat exposure, including direct sunlight, vents and electronic devices
