Good day
I would like to ask if anyone can assist me. My parents have 2 flats attached to the house that they rent out as a lodge for extra income. I helped them with a network setup in terms of a powerline that is connected to the modem and then the other end is connected to a router that is in the roof of the two flats that is rented out.
Last night the WiFi went out in the flats and my parents asked me if I could help so I thought perhaps it was the usual thing like just switch it off and on or maybe the powerline things disconnected and just need to be synced again but nothing worked. The WiFi in the main house with the main modem and router extension both worked but the router in the flat didn't obtain a Internet connection. So anyway I offered to connect the guest to the main router for the time being. WiFi signal is much weaker but somewhat usable. I connected the guest to the main router and took the extension of the flats into the house and was going to just perform a factory reset on it etc etc but on my parents pc eset nod was detecting multiple arp poisoning attacks.
Now I read online you can prevent these attacks by assigning static ips and perform mac and ip binding however I set up the network for dynamic ips to be assigned. I can give my parents static ips but I'm not available 24/7 to now assist a guest that checks in to assign them a static ip.
Is there a way around this like a program that can be placed on a computer or perhaps a restriction to be placed on the router extension that is usually in the flats or is this simply just something that will occur if an attacker is connected to the main router?
