The structure and access points of your home network — router, Wi-Fi, ISP, and advanced configuration — so it can be maintained, troubleshot, or handed off.
Download templateNothing is entered on this page — you fill the template in privately.
Text file — the flexible one. Use it as-is, open it in any editor, or paste it into an AI tool to reshape the blank form to fit your family: rename a field, add a row, drop one you don't need.
Print / PDF — the ready-to-use one. Print it and fill it in by hand, or choose Save as PDF and complete it in your own offline PDF app. Either way it stays with you — the finished Secure Guide template goes inside your Vault.
One rule: only ever give an AI tool the blank template. Never paste your real information — passwords, account numbers, anything you'd keep secret — into an AI tool, an online service, or anywhere outside your own Vault. Customizing an empty form is fine; filling it in happens privately, offline. That's the same rule this site follows: nothing sensitive ever leaves your hands.
Secure Guide Starter Template
Store this inside your Vault. Update when hardware, providers, or network layout changes.
Primary SSID or a household label.
Network; family-guide; System
Make/model and physical location in the home.
e.g., http://192.168.1.1. Admin username/password are high-friction — password manager, not here.
Primary + guest SSID and what belongs on each. Wi-Fi passwords go in the password manager.
Provider, plan, support number. Account login is high-friction — password manager.
Pointer to the device inventory (see the Devices Module).
Provider and where the profile/settings live, if used.
Where the router's exported configuration is stored.
Anything non-default a future maintainer should know.
Date of the last device audit and firmware check.
Family Guide Starter Template
This template contains no sensitive information. It can be stored with household documents.
One sentence on the network's shape (e.g., a family network and a guest network).
Pointer to credentials without values (all in the password manager under Network).
Steward and cadence.
Escalation path — ISP support number; who to ask about anything unfamiliar.
