Does devices on the same network with wpa2 ,share adds id and can they share malware between them? ,exception ramsw..and i have a smart home can i export my ssid to reset when ever i want my wifi exdender ?

they "can"

 

any pc connected in some way to each other, inside or oudside your home can technically send or recieve malware, but as long as you have a good (free is possible) security against it, and just use common sense, the chance of something happening is small

guest networks try to guide off the ip from the main network. a vpn is a good solution for privacy, but it's good to use a good antivirus (defender is fine) together with a good antimalware like malwarebytes

not really, I'm personally not really a vpn user

 

@leadeater might/should

 

btw, even bitdefender isn't a anti-malware, even if they say so. I've been using the "flawless" top version that linus used in a video, in a month I found 4 malware programms with malwarebytes free
