My passport Wireless Privacy

Yes, I have a similar use case for this:

I live in a shared house. As much as I trust my housemates, I don’t want them to be able to access my personal files.

Connecting to my home WiFi via my MPW’s WiFi gives significantly slower Internet than connecting directly. I have tried various locations.

As far as I can see I have two options for wirelessly accessing my MPW:

  • Connect my MPW to my home WiFi and connect my computer to my MPW’s WiFi with “Share content on this network” disabled.
  • Connect my MPW to my home WiFi and connect my computer to my home WiFi with “Share content on this network” enabled.

So basically I have to choose between secure storage and fast Internet.

I would like to be able to enable “Share content on this network” but only allow access for myself and certain others of my choosing. Or something that would provide equivalent functionality.

Thanks.
