Wireless networks are not my field of expertise. I fight putting them in offices. Many don’t care about the risks. Anything one does on a wireless network can be monitored. Many or all wireless networks can be haakked. Using the tools provided and integrated into most wireless routers will reduce the likelihood of being haakked but not eliminate it. If you care about things as trivial as your shop username and password, let alone banking, credit card, personal info, browsing habit related info, you don’t want to use a wireless network.

Proponents of wireless will say that due to the latest encryption methods that it would take a haakker weeks or months to tap into your network. This may or may not be true. Folks what wants the more powerful haakking tools can find them.

Regarding data storage, TB drives are now in the realm of consumer devices. If you had some real money to throw at data storage you could do this...
