# The Network Module

The FIRM Guide (thefirmguide.com) — companion to The Recoverable Family.
Fill this in privately (any text editor or by hand), then store it in your Vault.


## Secure Guide Starter Template — Network

> Store this inside your Vault. Update when hardware, providers, or network layout changes.

Some fields below — VPN profiles, firewall rules, config backups — may not apply to your home or mean much to you yet. That is fine: many Modules carry fields you will grow into. Start with the basics — the equipment, the Wi-Fi passwords in your password manager, a guest network — and fill in the rest as you learn. Keep just one rule as you go: this record is orientation, the password manager is access. Never mix the two.

Homes connect in many ways now — a phone hotspot or a building's shared Wi-Fi counts too. Fill only what applies: the essentials are who provides the connection, which account controls it, and where the passwords live.

## Family Guide Starter Template — Network

> This template contains no sensitive information beyond the optional guest Wi-Fi password — the one password designed to be shared. It can be stored with household documents.

> In the matching Secure Guide section: network record — router, SSIDs, ISP, device map, config backup.
>
> That detail is what makes recovery possible — and it is protected in the Vault, which opens with The Vault Key. The key is never written here, by design. The people listed on this page know how it is kept, and the steward's job is to keep that path current, so this page never leads to a locked door.
