@Anonymous User Welcome to the community. The NOW TV Hub is set up with WPS2 security by default so unless you've changed this your wifi network will be secured. If your friend has logged onto your wifi network in the past then most devices remember networks and can connect again automatically when in range, so this might explain what's happened. 

However if you want to check open up your router interface by typing 192.168.0.1 into a web browser, and then click on the Wireless tab (you'll be prompted to log in, the username is admin and the password is nowtv unless you've changed these) and in the page that appears check the security options section - make sure it says WPA2-PSK(AES). If it does you are fine.

Hi Sarah

I don't know anything about the Now TV hub because I do not use one but I have been through a number of other brands, as I've bounced from ISP to ISP, and found that some of the modem/router/hubs I've used have their "Guest" feature turned on by default.

In other words, if there is a "Guest" facility on the Internet connection device you have check that its turned off.

No guest network on the NOW TV Hubs I'm afraid.
