Since it has ever happened that on my previous computer a kind of eavesdropping program was installed by him and an acquaintance of us has seen and removed, I do not trust this man of us to install this box, the way… Unfortunately, that understands My mother does not and lets him continue to do everything without checking what he is doing at all with their technical equipment. Since I'm about to share the internet box with my mother, and I'm going for privacy (of course), I'm thinking about it.
Can he install a listening program or something similar from his laptop while installing the box to keep track of what is going on at home, what we do on the internet and where we go?
If so, is a manual included in the box for installation? Is this simple and fast? And do you need existing internet (eg with mobile stick) to install it? Then of course I would try it myself with the installation.
Since he then probably the access data to Box and thus also to the domestic Netzhat he can record everything by means of sniffer program which runs with you so at data traffic.
And most boxes are relatively simple to install and most are even pre-configured by ISPs. I would therefore suggest first try to install the box.
What do you think?
A DSL router or an LTE box?
Since he often comes to visit, and brings his laptop, and possibly even ask for the Wi-Fi key, the key is enough for him to install something else harmful after? I hope not…
How exactly does the installation work if I did it myself? Do you need existing internet for this? Or a CD drive?
I suspect a LTE box. She just does not know it herself. Has recently ordered it alone at the Telekom site.
Is however a telephone connection with it.
Then I think a complete DSL connection that you can without any problems yourself, everything is described exactly or already configured.
Many routers also have guest access for WLAN, so they can't do anything with the key.
Thank you:-) Do you need an Internet access for the installation, or is it otherwise?
As soon as he can log in to your network that's enough. He does not come to the computers, however, so he can only read the complete internet traffic. If he comes to visit frequently, I would suggest that you if possible a guest access (which is independent of your internal network) set up (then best not even your mother's W-Lan password (the default after the initial installation on what own change ) call for the internal network but just enter on the devices themselves)
The box is usually only connected to electricity and the Internet connection (telephone or cable). Then you connect a computer with the BOX (LAN or W-LAN), calls in the browser, the menu interface of the box and then there just enter the access data that has been sent to you from the Internet provider.
In the case of the boxes is usually also a guide that is aimed at normal users and not at technicians.
For the installation itself must be on the computer no Internet, but the connection must then be an Internet signal, so that the box then works afterwards.
Yes, you can only set that up when the line is switched, but you get that from the provider.
For the AVM routers (the market leader) there are the manuals on the Internet at e.g.

read that before! Let's get through, many of your questions will then be answered well.
Ask the person which device he has ordered, after all, you pay for it.
Make an appointment to set up with him and write everything with what he sets, used to parameterize your calculator. Say clearly that you are interested in the topic and that you will set up the routers yourself with your laptop in the future.
After all, you have to master the subject if the person dies or warps. That should also be clear to your mother.
