The bigger problem is that Box just isn’t a very good DHCP server. Box can operate as a stand-alone 802.11n Wi-Fi router, too, but I wouldn’t recommend using it that way. I’ll spare you the gory details, but I quickly realized all I needed to do was set up Box the same way I did my Wi-Fi router. My own rather complicated network setup was one Bitdefender didn’t account for.

Install the Box agent on your laptops, smartphones and tablets, and they will be protected even when they’re out in the wild connecting to the most dubious of Wi-Fi hotspots, according to Bitdefender. All I need besides Box is a lightweight agent on those devices (Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS are all supported). Bitdefender tells me its Box can protect all of them, and with enough confidence that I can run my PCs, tablets, and smartphones without local antivirus or anti-malware. My smart home has more than 40 devices connected to the Internet: Multiple computers, tablets, and smartphones 10 IP security cameras a control panel for my Vivint home-security and automation system a satellite TV tuner with a DVR a Roku video-streaming box four Sonos nodes and more. What about your household’s smartphones and tablets? Have you installed similar protection on them? What’s protecting your home-security cameras from online attack? Your smart TV? Your connected thermostat? And you probably curse every time you’re prompted to download and install the latest updates, or are reminded to scan your hard drive-especially if you have more than one computer on your network. You probably have antivirus and anti-malware software protecting your Mac or PC.
